Last week when we were traveling from Milwaukee to Peoria, we had to stop for one of our 15 minute breaks in the middle of nowhere at a gas station. And guess how much gas was?? $1.34 a gallon!! I couldn't believe it was so cheap, but we were definitely in the middle of nowhere because I even checked at this stop to see how far we were at that point to Peoria on my iPhone, and it couldn't even determine my current location on google maps! The cashier at this fine establishment also had 3 front teeth that I could tell. Classy!
Our bus driver is getting on every one's nerves. He wakes us up over the intercom with an annoying, "Ding dong- ding dong.....iiiiiiiitt's your morning wake up call! Wake up your neighbor, but before you do, snap a picture of them drooling!" EVERY TIME! This alone is annoying, but it's especially bad when it's about 15-20 minutes before our actual stop. He also has a bad habit of swerving when he talks on his radio/ cell phone to the other bus driver. (we travel together with another Rockette, little people and Santa's bus) They tell each other bad jokes and stupid stories, and then our bus swerves and we get woken up, then we are mad again!
Traveling on the day of a show has been rough. I don't like it at all. Sometimes we get on a bus at 8am, travel for 6-7 hours, check into the hotel and go right over to the arena for opening night festivities. By the time we actually preform the show at 7:30pm, I feel loopy like I'm in a weird dream or something. We had a same day travel and show today....at least I had my Twilight book to keep me company on the bus ride. I don't know if any of you have read any of the Twilight book series, but I love them! I'm about 45 pages from finishing the second one, New Moon. It took me a while to get through this one....actually I haven't even picked it up since Hershey. I didn't like where the story was going so I stopped, but I knew I had to read it if I wanted to get through the third and fourth books. Anyway, I started readin it again a couple nights ago and I didn't put the book down most of the day because it roped me back in! I have to go read the other 45 pages tonight...more on Peoria, Grand Rapids, and Detroit tomorrow.

Hi Lindsay -
We miss you completely!
I think traveling and then performing the same night would be really hard. No wonder you feel like you are in a dream.
I LOVED the Twilight series. LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! New Moon was my least favorite of the 4. Stick with it - it's worth it.
Anyway, Jade and I read every one of your blog entries. Jade says hi and sends you a big hug!
