Wow, this thread went post-crazy. Wonder what caused that?
An El-Al flight to LA on the 12th of August (with a stop in Toronto) seems to be the best option right now
What part of Nilly's itinerary does JSw think sounds really interesting? How much of a stop, I am wondering, for driving out to the airport and meeting Nilly purposes?
We're talking about Toronto here, some people's third choice for the preliminary 2005 F2F location discussion, now with added "Nilly Stopped Here" excitement!
I thought of you immediately, JS.
Also Nilly should know, if it's a lengthy layover, that the international terminal at Pearson has a Harrods - the only one in North America as far as I know.
Well, I may have to back out of joining in the SF festivities after all. My dad's just been hospitalized over a recurrence of the seizures he used to have 20 years ago, and while I hope everything will be on an even keel by late August I can't really start making plans at this point. Also, don't want to commit money to flights and hotel until I know whether or not my folks are going to slammed by big medical expenses.
then why can't she ride in a car if someone else is driving? I'm confused.
There's a prohibition against travelling, seperate from the prohibition against electricity. As for the lights, if someone else happens to turn a light on, then a Shabbos-observing person is allowed to use it. (Also, there are certain things that you're allowed to ask a non-Jewish person to do for you on Shabbos, but you're not allowed to ask the same thing of a Jewish person, even if that person doesn't observe Shabbos. I can never remember which things these are, though.)
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, Matt. Hope all is well soon.
Matt, I'm so sorry. Strength to you.
And since I haven't posted it yet, congratulations Nilly! I'm so excited you're approved and coming here!
Matt, hang in, sweetie. Hoping they get this sorted out for him, and soon.
Aw, Matt, that's too bad.
If someone is organizing Nilly activities for DC, put me on the list! It's not 100% that I'm going yet, I have to get a flight, triple check with my friend, and make sure I can have the time off. But still, squee!
Best wishes for Matt and family.
{{{Matt}}}, I hope that they figure out what's going on with your dad quickly.
