'Conversations with Dead People'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
Shir, it's in my calendar. I do have a home owners association meeting that Thursday from 6:30 to about 8:30pm. Aside from normal work stuff, that's the only conflict for me.
Looking forward to seeing you! You are welcome to crash on my couch (although PixDesigns guest room is more comfy).
Pix - yes please, I'd love to stay at your place. I also can't wait to meet the dogs.
Gar - I do plan to visit you in Olympia. It's about 3 hours on a bus from Seattle, if I remember it right, isn't it?
Never done it by bus. Have done it by train. Three hours one way by transit does sound about right. If you use buses make sure to take an express. Transfers could greatly extend the journey. (Public transit in WA state , though not bad by U.S. standards is not great compared to Europe or Israel.)
Here are some bus schedules. They actually seem pretty good, but note that in many cases you can leave an hour later and arrive within minutes of the bus that left an hour earlier.
OK, thank you.
Guys. I love y'all, but we're gonna have to discuss your definitions for the words "winter", "cool", and "chilly". Before I turned to see what your Fahrenheit talk actually means I had in mind mostly summer dresses and skirts (which is what we're starting to wear now, since we started to hit the 80s). Now I see I'll have to bring the light winter clothing. Middle Eastern here and all, but anything below 60 is winter in my book. Below 40 is "freezing", and below 30 is "Scandinavia".
Maybe I'll pack just one summer dress, since chances are I'll fly back to 85-90 weather.
With the way the weather's been this year, you really can expect just about anything at any time of year.
Layers, you say. Duly noted.
Edited to add: humm, seems like some things have changed since the last time I've been around. Will ask my travel agent some questions about that ESTA thing tomorrow (I'll be traveling with my British passport). Border security science is a bit weird.
You can expect summery weather in LA after the mist rolls out. Otherwise--yeah, May is a really fickle month.
My feelings on the weather are quite similar to yours, Shir. I find 60F to be frigid. When I travel to chillier regions I find having a good sweater is usually sufficient. Socks and gloves are good if your feel and hands get cold. (I never wear socks at home, all my shoes are open toed)
