What an inspirational trip! Our tour group met the local people who were portrayed in COME FROM AWAY, visited various settings from the play, enjoyed a Broadway production of the show at the local theater, attended 9/11 remembrance ceremonies, and witnessed lots of beautiful scenery. The musical tells the true story of kindness in the face of tragedy, and at times, we felt like we were living inside that story.
How appropriate that our trip culminated with putting the rhetoric of kindness into action, when Lisa welcomed the stranded members of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment's military band to board our bus and ride to the Gander 9/11 remembrance ceremony with us. Well done!
