Albany, New York

Monday, 15 Sep, we arrived in Albany after a long uneventful day in airplanes. Sunday night, Dad crashed about 10pm but I could not relax until I had gotten everything ready, so got to bed at 11:30. Carefully set my alarm for 2:50am and climbed into bed. It was hard to relax but finally got to sleep. Next thing I know, Dad is asking me if I am going to get up–it was 3:30am! Whoa! Good thing I hadn’t planned on showering or shampooing my hair. Jumped out of bed, got ready, and in spite of my oversleeping, we left for the airport on time at 4am! Ugh! I didn’t even know 4am existed, except in my dreams.
Needless to say, I was very sleepy the rest of the day and managed to sleep quite a bit on the airplane in spite of the uncomfortable seats. I love my mp3 player cuz I was able to listen to it all the way from SLC to Cincinnati. Of course, I slept thru most of the podcasts, but it was still nice to use to relax.
Tonight, we checked into the Super 8 Motel and had dinner just next door at Ruby Tuesday’s. Walked over to Target and got a few odds and ends; am now trying to relax so we can get sleep since it is 10 pm here but only 7pm to our bodies. We are glad to be here in spite of the early rising and smoke-stinking room (the guy claims it is a non-smoking room but it does not have the No Smoking sign on the door like the 3 other rooms down the hall.)
Til tomorrow.

Sounds like you guys made it. Did you figure out what time it was in NY??
Were you affected by the storms at all up there? Remember about the lodgings…if it’s not what you expected, charge it back!
