So we've been in Newark a couple of weeks now... That's how long it takes for Teresa to get a line dancing itch! How great is Google for finding anything you want ? Friday night we ended up at the old but graceful Newark Symphony Hall with about 200 other line dancing aficionados. Met some great folks and ate some great food.
Saturday was a recovery day, movies and... Sunday was a trip to NYC. Wanted to see a play or musical. Just can't wrap my head around the fact a half price ticket still costs $75 - $90. We passed and took a double decker bus tour instead. Had a great lunch at an original Peruvian restaurant. Good food and great service.
Having trouble with picassa, getting pics in, can't show line dancing...
Anyway, another great weekend in Newark, NJ.

Jets 26 - Saints 20
Though both Teresa and myself were quietly rooting for Dree Brees and the Saints, they lost. Was still a great game and fun to go to. I was lamenting the end of daylight saving time this morning as I sat here watching my sweetheart slumber along and wondered what to do today. First I checked Stubhub for football ticket prices and thought "no way, Jose". I was in such sticker shock i can't even remember the prices. Then I checked eBay and they weren't that bad. So we got tickets to the Jet vs Saints game. Was a great game day.
Saturday 11/2
I'm sure you're not supposed to have this much fun working... We'll not really working, but working in so many different places and then having the opportunity to explore. Which is really what we like to do.
During the week our schedule is a bit crazy. Not like driving truck crazy, but a bit crazy in its own way. I know I mentioned we are going to be at Newark airport form a month hearing testing almost 4,000 United employees and this was our schedule last week.
Mon 0500 - 0900 and 1330 - 1730
Tue 0300 - 0700 and 0900 - 1300
Wed 0500 - 0900 and 1200 - 1600
Thu 0500 - 0900 and 1200 - 1600
Fri 1600 - 2000 and 2200 - 0200
So you see not arduous, just a bit crazy.
Yesterday we moved out of the Doubletree and into the Courtyard. We will be settled here for the next three weeks. Then searched out another Turkish restaurant. We ended up at the Rumi Turkish Grill in Jersey City. Another winner!!! Don't know if we're lucky or the Turks just serve up great food. Then we walked around the waterfront area across from the NEW World Trade Center.

Halloween
Yesterday we finished our testing work day and headed back to the hotel and ran into this couple headed to the Halloween parade in downtown NYC.
So we decided to "follow the money". They are old hats at the train commute thing and led us all the from Newark to NYC.
Certainly in the top 5 of costumes we saw.
