We've arrived

We arrived at our hotel in New Jersey about half an hour ago and saw the NYC skyline as we drove here. A highlight of the trip was seeing the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree being transported by trailer down the freeway! We saw it three times actually, so people were able to get pictures. I am hoping we get to see it either being set up or being decorated sometime this week!

Up next is dinner. The excitement tomorrow starts first thing, with Seneca East High School's band performing in the Sept. 11 tribute in Times Square.

I'll be uploading pictures to cu.advertiser-tribune.com soon, and you can find coverage of the buses being loaded in tomorrow's print and online editions.
