2001 National Travel Seminar Class Diary

March 18, 2001

New York City

New York

Following an early departure from Baltimore, the class arrived in New York after a relaxing three-hour train ride.

On a train ride from Baltimore to NYC, several class members took the opportunity to play euchre.  Others took the time to catch up on notes and reflect on the time in Washington D.C. and the Chesapeake Bay area.

 


Even though the class was expecting a relaxing day, they still had an opportunity to learn more. The Madison Square Garden/Penn Station was the staging area for a very long line of welfare recipients and their families to sign up for benefits. Once we arrived at Renaissance Hotel, the group scattered to wander the streets of New York until show time for the Broadway musical we would see later in the afternoon. The hotel was conveniently located near Times Square and Broadway. 

 

"Annie Get Your Gun", which featured Reba McEntire was the musical that the class was treated to. All agreed that it was great fun and great entertainment. Following the performance, the cast auctioned off Reba’s earrings and collected funds in the lobby to support HIV/AIDS patients.
