Deb, I am looking forward to it immensely! We should coordinate train schedules at some point.
F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
And we can cook!
Oh my!
We should coordinate train schedules at some point.
Yes, please. I'm pretty much coordinate-able to whenever you'd like; I haven't bought the train ticket yet. What works for you?
Anytime late-ish Sunday is good. Trains run about every half-hour, so it's easy to be flexible. I'll email you.
Excellent, excellent (rubbing hands)
SA, be warned, I'm going to nag you - please nring "And Then Put Out The Light" with you to DC....
I have to mail it to her yet. I've been a terrible slacker. It's going out on Monday, though.
For those who ride the morning train from Boston to NYC or DC, is it generally crowded enough that buying a ticket in advance would be necessary? I was hoping to give myself some leeway in case a 9:20am departure doesn't work out so well, but I don't want to strand myself in Boston if buying just prior to departure isn't feasible.
If it's not the express train, with reserved seating, I think it doesn't matter what which particular train you take, just the route. I'd check with them to be sure, but unless it's the Acela you should be okay.
Thanks! I decided to go on one of the half-as-expensive cattlecars, so I should be good to go with buying a ticket the morning of.
Matt, the only times I've ever bought Amtrak tickets in advance were over Thanksgiving, when things do sell out. On a non-holiday weekend, you should have no problem buying your ticket at the station.
