Carol and I went to the first game of the double header today at Fenway Park in Boston. We had standing room only tickets but with the weather managed to get ourselves seats in the grandstand after the second inning.

Another loss for the Red Sox, at least they won the 2nd game of the double header this evening.

I'm flying back to St. Louis in the morning, with a 2.5 hour stop in NY. I'm going to try to get to bed now, more tomorrow as Natalie and I prepare for Amsterdam.

It has been a long day. Cliff Notes: Flight to New Jersey (slept), Picked up rental car, parked rental car in daily parking with my stuff. Train to Penn Station, Wander around NY, random Subway trips. Yankees Red Sox Game (Sox Win! Sox Win!) Subway back to Penn Station. Train back to Newark Airport, hop in rental car, drive to Parssippany to hotel. Read tons of email, go to bed.

While I thought I had this whole trip to New York tomorrow to see the Red Sox play the Yankees turned out to be far more complex than I had imagined. I ended up getting a rental car this evening so I would have a place to store my bag(s) while I head into the city tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise I would have had to pay $60 each way for a car ride to/from the hotel to drop off my bags.

I also could have rented a storage locker with Amtrak at Penn Station, but that would have required me to get an Amtrak ticket, the cheapest of which I found was $40.

So I got a car for $142 for two days from Priceline, compact, not too bad I guess. Now to finish packing so I can go to bed early.

What should I wear tomorrow to the game, a red sox jersey? Will I get killed?

It looks like New York in two weeks will be a Family affair! The New England clan will be driving/flying? down to join me at the Red Sox Yankees game on the 26h at Yankees Stadium. I'll repeat the process in Boston a month later as I have a pair of tickets to two games at Fenway in the final regular series of the 2008 season, also against the damn Yankees.
