hsapiens | Preliminary planning for NYC/NJ trip

It's time to begin nailing down the details of my trip to the great states of New York and New Jersey. I'm tentatively looking at Oct. 26-Nov. 5/6. That gives me a weekend up there where I don't have any plans!

-

yams69** are you still reading my LJ? I got the baby announcement (WOO! I didn't even know M was pregnant!). How does that affect your time? Will y'all be available to visit? I know this means you'll have less flexibility in schedule so I want to know your life schedule early so I can make plans to see you, M, M, M, and A. Whoa - you have Triple Ms. Very cool. :) I could plan to rent a car/room in the area if that would make visiting easier.

mcroft and

immlass - I know I'll be seeing you at the end of this month (yay!!!) but I want to make certain to see y'all on this next trip, too. Last time my trip got planned up way too quickly.
-

la_directora - I usually dither about museums vs. traveling to Connecticut or Philadelphia but this year there's no question: I'll definitely be going to the Met to see the new digs for the Greek and Roman collections (and Egyptian? I don't know the planned completion date for those) and that means I must make up for missing the Cloisters last year. I hope I'm getting on your calendar early enough to plan a trip to the Cloisters with you. :)
-

jalabert - I don't have to ask. I EXPECT that you'll continue to be the world's best friend who kindly meets my bus or walks me to the exact train I should get on because you know I'm a Texas girl. :) You're the one who agrees to traipse through Times Square because I've promised my mail carrier that I'd bring him back a Hard Rock NYC pin. I adore you. This year I'm looking to add a few more days on to the trip so that we can take a trip to some place you want to go. We talked about Tarrytown and the castle or even Sleepy Hollow. Or a trip over the Physician's College in Philly. You tell me and we'll go do it. Similarly, I'm assuming that you and Söös are planning to stay with me again in NJ for the con? I need to book a room soon.

Also? I know that a ton of my f-list lives up in there and I'd like to see if we could plan some kind of get together. Hey, a girl has to eat dinner each evening and lunch each day. Anyone on the f-list in those parts is welcome to chime in and suggest a date/time that would work for her. :)

The Stargate con is Nov. 2-4 so those days are already booked.

So, I've got a very full mental schedule but now I need to check with youse guys. Does that time period look good?

**See what deleting your LJ did?? They must have purged it and now you're listed without even a head. *sniffle*

I think we'll be around then. (Hey, didn't you come around Halloween last year too?) We're happy to entertain company as long as you rave appropriately about little M (it'll be really easy :-) ). She's actually okay with traveling, too, but screaming baby at home is just easier to deal with than screaming baby in public. If you're up for a trip out of the city and into rural NJ/PA, we could show you New Hope this time -- definitely worth checking out! Ping me by email and we can iron out the details.

Yay! Color me very happy. First and foremost -- CONGRATS! I'm so very excited for you and M. There are people in this world who I think really, really should be parents and you're definitely high on that list. I was surprised by the announcement since neither of you had mentioned anything like it but I'm thrilled to pieces. :) I have great confidence that I can even honestly rave about Little M. Knowing her parents, I know she's destined to be wonderful.

I'd be thrilled to visit with y'all at your home; whatever is easiest for y'all is good for me. My current plans are to fly in, rent a car, and hit some tourist spots in Maryland and Philly with JL. We'll be returning from Philly probably on Monday, Oct. 29. I would love to see y'all but I don't want to be added work. I don't want to impose and I know that new babies = No Sleep. Maybe I could do something like buy a dinner and bring it over? I'd like to do my part rather than be the annoying guest who requires extra work. Just let me know. :)

I'd love to see New Hope. How does your schedule look? If y'all are working during the week, maybe JL and I could rearrange the days we head out of town? I'm willing to be flexible to work with your schedule. I'm the one on vacation and can adapt as needed.

I'll e-mail this as soon as I can get my stupid e-mail to work again. For some reason, I can't send e-mail and I can't login to the webmail. We're running out now but I'll try my gmail account when I get back.
