I'll be in NOLA, husband in tow.

Unfortunately, due to Uncle Sam having his wicked way with me unlubed, I will not be in NOLA. I'm very unhappy about it, but I'm trying to buy a place and need my cash right now.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
So someone else will have to organize the Commander Palace then!

Rats! That sucks, Vortex—you'll be missed.
I would offer to coordinate the Commander's Palace dinner, but I have a pretty tight margin between arrival time and the reservation time we discussed (also, abyssmal luck organizing dinners and parties, which should always be considered).
Edited to say I just reserved my room for Saturday and Sunday - no difficulties with the room rate, so that seems to be cleared up (for the moment, anyway). Parking was quoted as $19/day, which is slightly higher than I vaguely remember, but still probably better than public garages.

Attention SF-istas! My husband and I wil be in your fair city for a wedding on May 1st. Naturally, a lot of our time is tied up with going to the wedding and asscociated activities, but we appear to have Saturday night (and possibly afternoon) free. I would love to see as many of you as possible!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have made F2F reservations. I'll be arriving Thursday the 19th and leaving Sunday the 21st. I will be traveling by train.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
How does the train compare to air in terms of time/money trade-off?

The train is a little over 19 hours each way, but that's overnight so I can sleep through a big chunk of it. I paid extra for a private room so I can have a bed to sleep in. My total is $391. Without the private room I think it's about $80 each way.
I like traveling by train much more than flying (if I have the time). And who knows how much longer Amtrak will have long-distance trains....
eta: the fare for the train without the private room is $188.00 round trip.
