ROAD TRIP!

[pbray]

Yesterday a friend asked if I'd be interested in a trip to Boston--he wants to go visit his niece at college, but would rather not make the 6 hour drive by himself. I told him I'd be interested, if we could figure out mutually convenient dates.

Then I went home and found this in my mailbox CSI: The Experience at the Boston Museum of Science, through January 1st.

Needless to say, a road trip to Boston has moved from "maybe" to "MUST GO!"

Just as soon as I get through World Fantasy.

And finish the revisions for THE FINAL SACRIFICE.

Six hours? Do you go through Albany? How long does it take to drive to Albany?

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Yes, through Albany. It's a bit over 300 miles from here to downtown Boston. Albany is about 150 miles, so roughly half way.

You can make the trip to Boston in 5 hours if there's no traffic, but depending on time of day, getting around/through Albany is slow, and usually I stop for a break in western Mass. Then, of course, the last few miles into Boston can be fun.

Boston?

You're welcome to stop by at my place! :D

Cool, I may do that.

Still trying to work out dates. Logistics are complicated when you're looking at two professionals with previously scheduled commitments trying to find a mutually convenient date with a college sophomore :-)

My world fantasy schedule goes something like this:

Monday: Get up and drive husband to airport.
Tuesday and Wednesday: Pack, endlessly worrying that husband won't fly home in time.
Thursday: Put kid on bus, HOPEFULLY pick up husband at airport, drop him at home before kid returns from school, start driving.

I've made the trip from NYC a million times. Just love those last few miles. Shortest I've ever done is just over three hours. The longest is eight. (With all the extra beyond Hartford, otherwise I would have turned around and gone home.)

CSI: The Experience, eh? *shiver* Intriguing indeed, but I don't think I'd eat directly beforehand.

Can't wait for the report on that one! :-)

Here's hoping that everything goes smoothly for you!

Well the exhibit says its appropriate for kids 12 and older, so I don't think it will be that gruesome.

The color photographs in my Criminal Investigations textbook, however, are hard to look at--especially when I'm trying to read the book while having breakfast. At least it's only still photographs and not video, or actual bodies....

Thanks. It's times like this I feel, though, like my life is like a circus act. This goes under the flying trapeze part. My childhood was mostly the wild animal trainers.

Whew. Okay.

A CI textbook and breakfast?? Bless your heart!
