msbelle, regarding getting to the airport, see about posting to/on a craigslist or whatever else your community has, for rideshares to the airport. There's gotta be tons of people in your shoes and tons of nice, friendly people willing to help out.

Also, maybe stake out a reserved zipcar or whatever and plead and plead and plead.

strangers scare me. my brother is calling some other places and also trying to swing something through his work's service. If he can get a car, they will stop here for me.

You have a good brother, sawzall debate and all.

The craigslist idea is a good one. Also, going away from the city at an odd time? You might be fine with calling a car. The off-hour thing is what I'm banking on to get to the bus on Thursday.

The PATH was incredibly easy to use and relatively uncrowded-- I don't understand why everyone who lives downtown wasn't using it.

It's confusing. Also? Tainted with Jersey.

it's true. I have offered to just walk and meet him there. It is probably 2-3 miles is all.

Also, I just google mapped it, and it's just two miles. You have a good rolly bag?

With luggage?

Hah. You probably have good walking luggage. That's pretty.

of course I do.

I bet walking is your fastest bet, really.
