Yay! I can't wait either! I'll send out an email later today to try and gather up the NC-istas. WOO!
Strix, the buses in Chapel Hill/Carrboro are free, and I'm within walking distance of the downtowns of both (if you don't mind surface-of-the-sun temperatures), but maybe we can arrange a get-together in Durham for either Tuesday evening or Wednesday evening.
amych, what say you?
Calli will be back from MI by then, too!
I'm good for whatever! I mean it. I'm SO easy! (Wow, haven't that SAID since my 20's and all I'm drinkin' is coffee!)
Er...you DO have WiFi right, so I can get a little work done here and there?
Off to look at tickets!
Woo, I can...uh, work. A little.
Heh. OMFG, I get kinda of a mini-vacation! It's like I won the lottery! WHAT IS THIS?
SQUEEE!
And honey, I'm from the land of 104 degree heat and crazy humidity; I can saunter around and see the sights whilst your at work.
Thank you for putting me up!
Quick question, amyth: Flights going back to KC are generally during the time you'll be at work, especially since I would need to leave early because of TSA and my metal arm of doom.
Is there a shuttle or a bus or train from your hood to the airport?
Probably easiest would be a taxi, especially with your arm. No trains in our neck of the woods, and buses would be...complicated.
But! So far, I don't have any meetings scheduled that day, and I live, literally, a three-minute drive from my office (BEST. COMMUTE. EVER!) and I'm less than a half-hour away from RDU. So I could probably get away to take you in the middle of the day. Especially considering that between August 17-19, I'll be putting in over 20 hours of overtime (and on my birthday, no less!) for student move-in.
Just let me know, and I'll block my calendar!
Oh, that would be wonderful -- I just didn't want to put you out!
We're heading to see the fam here in a few, but I'll send deets tonight before I book, make sure they work with your schedule. Sound good?
Awww, amyth's the bestest.
She is! I'm jazzed! WHEE!
After not driving for so long, I'm reveling in getting to drive ALL THE PLACES. And give back just a fraction of that car karma. I'll never be able to repay it all.
Sounds good, Strix!
I'm going to send out a make-a-plan email in a little bit too.
