Later this morning I will board a greyhound bus for Chicago. From downtown I will catch a Metra train to the suburbs. Tonight it's rehearsal in Crystal Lake followed by an early morning rehearsal tomorrow and a concert on Sunday. At the same time, Kaia will drive up tomorrow afternoon with the majority of my clothing for the next week, meet me in downtown, and from there we will proceed to Naperville for dinner with her father and his wife. Sunday we drive back up to Crystal Lake for a rehearsal and a concert, then we head on to La Crosse to begin our Thanksgiving vacation.
I think that's everything.
I've made lists for each bag I'm packing so I don't forget my tux, clean underwear, baton, score(s), video camera, or reading material. Incidentally these are all things that I've forgotten on past trips. My most memorable fail was forgetting to bring clean underwear to my grad school audition right here in Illinois. Every trip that I take seems to involve me forgetting something but I believe I've got it all this time.
It's a stressful start to an otherwise relaxing week. I'm sure the concert will be great - the orchestra is sounding very good these days - and I'm looking forward to a change of scenery. Hills and trees and lakes... here we come!
