We finally heard from Angelica.
After dropping her off at 5:30am on Sunday morning, we didn’t hear from her again until Tuesday afternoon. That’s a looooong time to be away from someone that you’ve worried over and “mother hen’d” for over a year.
And……she was fine. Obviously!
Jon and I…..not so much!
I mean, we are okay and in all reality, too busy to be worrying 24/7 but there are definitely the odd moments that get ya.
She called on Tuesday afternoon just to let us know that everything was okay and that she was having SO MUCH FUN. I asked the usual “How are you doing? How are you feeling? Everything okay?” questions and then reminded her to take a million pictures and she assured me she was and then we hung up.
It was just a quick short conversation and so we were DELIGHTED when she e-mailed us on Wednesday. It wasn’t a long e-mail, but enough to connect AND THEN…..
Wednesday afternoon she emailed a HUGE LONG RAMBLING e-mail. It was wonderful.
So far, they have seen or done…..
– Mme. Tussaudes (the wax museum)
– Empire State Building
– The Blue Man Group
– Lion King (the musical) and got to go back stage
– Battery Park
– Statue of LIberty
– a Private Pool Party
And they still have today and tomorrow.
She mentioned that it is SO HOT! She wore her hoody one day and said that it feels like you are being smothered with a heavy blanket. She is also LOVING the restaurants that the are eating at, but she also mentioned that she is missing her fruits and veggies….apparently you can eat too much junk food!
I’m so glad that she has had this opportunity. It is such a blessing. I can’t wait to see all her pictures and to hear all about her many adventures.
I love this. So incredibly happy for her … happy memories, life-changing experiences … two thumbs up to you and Jon too … letting her go would be a scary thing. But she.is.victorious :-). YAY!
WOW what an amazing opportunity! I am looking forward to pictures! i love looking at other family vacation pictures it’s the only way i get to vacation this year.LOL. Sad but very true. :). Bless you Angelica…so happy that you are having an awesome time! Can’t wait to see my t-shirt your mom told me it was on the way…YAY! Thank you so much for sharing this journey! Love and prayers from Tammy, Dan, Amber and Luke <3

Hi Angelica so glad you got to go to New York. so glad you got to see Lion King and backstage. when i was in New York less than 3 years ago i got to see such an awesome Lion King show and got my picture taken at back stage with the child Simba actor and adult Simba actor. it is something you never forget. The walking on sticks and costumes was really something wasnt it Geli. Looking forward to your mom posting some of your photos. i heard that New York Lion King was way better than Toronto lion king. so happy for you that you got to go on a lifetime trip of your life. Central park, Statute of Liberty, Manhattan etc are something you never forget. i miss New York very much. love Debra

I’m so excited for Geli! I sure hope she lets you posts lots and lots about her trip, or maybe even posts herself!
