NJ trip

[kitanzi]

As I've mentioned, I am going to NJ for a two week training course starting 3/14, so 3/18 (evening) to 3/20 I'm hoping to be able to go to NJ and see people. ACat is flying into La Guardia Friday and Maedbh7 is planning on going directly to NY also on a bus. I'm trying to figure out how to get from NJ to NY in such a way as to meet up with them and whoever else might be around and interested. The hotel website is useless, but the fact that they don't have an airport shuttle suggests they aren't close enough to the airport to make that a good mass transit jump on option and NJ Transit website doesn't seem to be helping me figure out what's anywhere near Morristown, which is where the hotel is. Do any of the local/localish people have advice or websites or resources? All help appreciated - plus it would be good to know where/when/who might be in the catherding plans for the weekend!

It's worth noting that the weekend you alude to is Lunacon weekend, which means many of us would be busy, but also menas that many of us would hope that you somehow find your way to the con. And it's now in NJ.

We probably won't make it to the convention, sadly. We really appreciate the many people who've pointed out to us that we're co-inciding for the weekend, but I've never been to NYC before, and I want to see it, rather than seeing a hotel ballroom, however filled with my friends and family it may be. :)

*blink* You've never been to NYC?!

And I expect that Paul will likely be down that weekend, but it might be possible to meet up, if plans go nicely. If there is a specific date for gathering, please do let me know.

Nope. I drove past it once, but took a wide bearth around it. (Driving through NYC at 9pm on a Friday night didn't actually appeal to me at the time. *grin*)

No ultra-specific plans. We'll be staying at the Westin New York Court Hotel on East 39th street between Lexington and Park Ave. In true Zen tourist tradition, we're not making any very specific plans, although I'd like to see the Metropolitan Museum of Art (note to self: re-read "From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" before the trip) and if we can get tickets, I'd love to see "Avenue Q", which could in itself be a fun group outing.

I'm arriving on Friday morning at about 11:30am, and don't leave until 9pm on Sunday. (Note to self: look up transit options to and from LaGuardia). We'd love to see you at some point during the visit, of course, and anyone else who'd like to meet up.

*hugs*

I'll poke to see when I'll be free. I'd imagine that Saturday might work, or possible something Sunday morning?

Send your email so I can get in touch about more specific plans?
