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.
This weekend, I took the train DC-NY on Friday morning, and NY-DC Sunday afternoon. I bought tickets in advance. The Sunday one had a few extra seats. The Friday one was totally full, to the point where people who got on at the first stop after DC had to stand or sit in the cafe car until some other people got out in Baltimore and Wilmington. I don't know how many people bought tickets in advance and how many bought them at the station, though.
