Well it is almost a year away! Lets see what we All Can come up with for you!

Penny the B&B I put the link for I could walk to from my store in about 20 seconds. Its right in town. See in this picture that I took from my front door, to the left of the yellow building theres a phone pole,behind that you can see a bluish color building behind the trees? Thats the B&B

Stewart airport is in Newburgh, about 1hour & 15 minutes to drive to. Albany airport I've never been to.
Its farther than I thought. 1hr 43 minutes!!

Trailways buses come right into Phoenicia too.

Wrennie,

My choices would be Albany, Buffalo, Long Island, and La Guardia. There is no way I would take the kids on a bus though. That scares me.

Triss - Don's office is right across the highway from LaGuardia - it is an hour's drive from here in very good traffic. Then Wrennie's is another almost 2 hours north from here.

Long Island? Which airport - JFK?

Albany might be a better bet, though I'm not quite sure the distance there. Did you look into Stewart International? It's a small airport, but closer to Wrennie.

I was just looking at what airports Southwest flies into. All it says is Long Island ISP. No idea what that is. Sounds like Albany is the closest to her. And an hour drive is not a major deal if I am saving a 3000 mile drive across the country.

Don thinks Stewart is the closest, but Albany is good too - a straight ride down the thruway to her exit, and then a straight ride (well, not exactly straight - a bit curvy, but on 1 road) to Phoenicia.

Wrennie - when you think of dates in June, please take into account when schools finish up? I'm sure they are a bit different all over the country. Our county ends on June 22, but things get pretty hairy around here around Regents exams time - the 2 weeks before!

The kids get out of school here June 15. No way we could go before that.

Ahhhh school. We didnt think of that this morning when I asked when was a good time. Maybe it'll have to be July???

I guess you should see what the majority thinks?

yes
Ok when does everyones kids finish school?
june 07 calendar
We could shoot for the June 29 weekend

Well... I just remembered that Don said there is a "slight" chance he has a meeting in Seattle next June. Wouldn't that be a shame if I was out in Washington, while Triss is back here??? I was planning on going with him and meeting the North Western contingency from here, and then we were talking about going up to Alaska, where we met.

That aside... as I said... school gets out here June 22.

Oooh yeah, a shame...
Thats why i posted this with almost a year to plan and time to tweak the plans. Is July better? Worse? OK with everyone who said June was OK?????

This meeting probably won't even happen, he says, but one never knows til they organize them.

July would be good for me...

July is good here as well. In fact, I prefer July cuz it gives us time to settle into summer.

Oh and Lynne, I really hope the Seattle meeting happens. I will drive on up to get you while Don is working and we can have some fun. Maybe Patty and Sarah can come up and we can all hang out in Seattle and go visit Bill.

Sounds like a plan, Triss - I'm so excited at the prospect, and Don doesn't want to hear about it, because it most likely won't even pan out!

I can hope, right???

Yep or just plan a trip this way without him.

I would love to go out east but I'm not sure if I'd be able to make it or not. Let us know when you have a definate weekend planned and I can start looking at plane tickets and talk to by boyfriend about it.

I am a driver more than a flyer;-) But I want to meet you all:-)

I'd rather drive too Angie, but I just cannot see cross country on my own with the kids.

If you go Cher, we should plan on flying in together.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Campers, possible campers, day visitors, and maybes so far:

Oh, Wrennie , count me in ! I'm coming!!!

The weekend of June 22nd works for me (now, of course, but something always comes up doesn't it??) July also works for me. The only problem I see with the weekend of June 29th is that is considered the fourth of July Weekend too and I know I can't make it then, it's such a busy time up here in vacationaland..........
