The upcoming trip -- NJ, NYC, yadda

[hsapiens]

Has anyone received tickets yet for the Con in NJ? I haven't yet but I've dug out my statements and printed copies to have in hand when Creation inevitably bungles the tickets.

So, here's the final itinerary I've come up with. Not a whole lot of changes. I need to get to NYC earlier than planned so that I can catch dinner with la_directora before she takes off to work on a film. I've added in a side trip to the Smithsonian this coming Sunday, though I know it'll make me weep for all of the stuff I *won't* have a chance to see.

Friday, 26 Oct: Arrive Newark 10:50 a.m. Drive with jalabert to Maryland. Lunch or dinner in Delaware maybe? I haven't ever been to Delaware!
Saturday, 27 Oct: Underground Railroad exhibit at the Baltimore Historical Society.
Sunday, 28 Oct: SMITHSONIAN!!!!! Drive to yams69's house in NJ. Meet the newest Honorary Texan. :)
Monday, 29 Oct: Mutter Museum in Philadelphia with yams69, wife, and the Magnificent Ms. M. jalabert -- you're planning to go with us, yes?
Tuesday, 30 Oct: Motor to mcroft and immlass's abode in slightly less rural NJ. Visit, kibbitz, tour the area. Chill.
Wednesday, 31 Oct: Check into con hotel, leave luggage with front desk, return car to Newark airport, catch the train or something to Manhattan. Meet la_directora for dinner. Halloween Parade!
Thursday, 1 Nov: The Met. Maybe the Cloisters.
Friday, 2 Nov: The con.
Saturday, 3 Nov: The con. Pack to go home.
Sunday, 4 Nov: The con. Kate Hewlett play with selmak, janiekins, triciabyrne1978, and her mother. Unless they see me first and run fast enough to escape. ;) I'm betting with Tricia's heart, though, that I'd catch y'all. ;)
Monday, 5 Nov: Fly back to Houston.

yams69, mcroft, and immlass -- PLEASE look over this schedule and make certain it still works for you. If not, don't be shy about telling me. I can happily adjust so that I spend more time at the Smithsonian or I can go to Manhattan a day earlier and catch more time with la_directora, maybe a full day at the Cloisters or some time at the Frick? There's always more to do than I have time so you won't hurt my feelings. :)

You are too sweet. :)

I have at least five favorite vegetarian restaurants, so you'll have choices. I'll e-mail you my cell phone number so you can get in touch Wednesday when you know more specifics on your plans. I'll be home working until I hear from you, so take your time and do what you need to do.

Sounds like we have a plan, then. :)

At least five, eh? I love NYC.

I actually have an entire Zagat's sized guide called "Veg Out Vegetarian Guide to New York City". There are a gazillion vegetarian restaurants here. It's fantastic. We can choose what type of food we want, what kind of atmosphere, etc.

Yum! I'm really looking forward to it. Actually, I'm so used to eating at places with only a couple of veggie choices that I often have trouble choosing when presented with an entire menu of veggie choices.

Oh, I am so there with you. I have had some serious synapse freeze moments when faced with an ENTIRE MENU that is veggie-safe. But I'm getting used to it. :)
