Well, when we leave the property today,
we're going to be escorted by the Sheriff's Department
and by the New York State Troopers.
We're going to go down 8, and we're going to go on some other highways.
We're going to get to a secure location tonight,
and we're going to travel pretty far, as far
as we can get to the city.
Tomorrow night, we'll pick it up.
Go down the thruway over the top of G Bridge
and right to Rockefeller Center.
I have thought about the millions
of people that will go and see the tree,
that will interact with it, encounter with it,
everything that it will bring to them.
And I'm just hopeful that it brings the same kind of peace
and joy that it brings here to us.
