We're going to NJ

[hsapiens]

Finally, finally, finally have gotten the better half to commit to the dates he's available for traveling to NJ! We're going to a wedding on Sat., Sept. 16 but will be around for a couple more days (Sun., Sept. 17 - Wed., Sept. 20). We're flying out the evening of the 20th.

Since he isn't thrilled at the idea of going to the Brooklyn Museum - which totally boggles my mind but I suppose not everyone grooves on archaeology - I'm trying to think of things to do in the City that will interest him. He's big time into American history, military history, and enjoys hikes. Obviously, some time in Central Park is called for and South Street Maritime Museum looks like a good possibility as does delving into history in and around Wall Street. There's probably a night at Spamalot in our future, as well.

jalabert has already given me some excellent suggestions and I'm researching them. Any others are welcome, as well, since this trip has to please BOTH of us. :)

Ohhhh Greek sounds awsome... do you mean Niko Nikos? We love that place.

Yes! Niko Niko's! Since y'all love it and I'm fond of it, too, do you want to plan to meet there? I haven't had a good felafel in ages.

That sounds great :D How much lead time do you want me to give you when I call? I'm hoping we can have her moved in an hour, but we can't ever be sure.

An hour?!? Man, I'm jealous of that. I miss traveling light.

How much lead time? If I'm at home, I need about 45 minutes to make the dogs do a trip out and then drive in to Montrose. If I'm already in the area, even less. Why don't you call my cell when you start to move her in? I could then adjust what I'm doing to show up at the restaurant what, 1.25? 1.5? hours, after that? Would that work without anyone feeling rushed? I can plan to grab a book and if it takes more than an hour, I can always entertain myself. :)

Lemme put it this way- last time we did this, we thought we'd be done in an hour. Greg and I didn't get home until well after dark that night LOL

However, we're more familar with what's needed this time, and she says she'll have friends helping her. Even if she doesn't, we're SO over the whole "hovering to see if there's anything we can do to help or run out to buy" stuff, so most likely we'll drop her and run LOL

I'll call you when we arrive at the dorm and if it looks like it's going to take a long time, I'll let you know :D

Hee! I ALMOST asked, "what are ya going to do? dump her and the stuff out the back of the van and run?" *grin* As I recall, that's what I would have preferred at that age, any way.

That sounds like a good plan to me.
