We had girlfriends, mothers and daughters, sisters, Pi Phis and those people who are not Pi Phis traveling with us this year! We enjoyed seeing the huge hit Hamilton, the truly enchanting American in Paris, the funny and joyous Finding Neverland and the thought-provoking Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. The group was spotted each morning enjoying coffee and making new friends at the Pomme Palais inside the Lotte New York Palace, street shopping on Madison and Fifth, visiting museums across from Central Park, walking the High Line, touring the 9 11 Museum and Observation Deck, dining at Bergdorf ’s and 21 and having cocktails at Baccarat Hotel and The Modern. We loved having former Dallasite, but long time New Yorker, Elizabeth Krouse, with us each evening on the coach to give us all the inside information on the Broadway shows and cast members. This is a great way to visit New York City. Completely carefree- just get yourself to DFW airport and Polly and Mike Trapp of Frosch Travel and I do the rest - we transport you to and from La Guardia and 4 Broadway shows. We even check you in at the Palace. Then we give you plenty of time to shop, dine, walk and see the lights! Everything about this trip needs an !!! exclamation mark.
