Who wants to come to NY for a GH camping weekend? It will be in June 2007. And I will be your hostess. There are tent and camper campgrounds right nearby. (2 minutes up the road) There is hiking, fishing(you need a NY fishing license for this, non resident licenses are available, I'll find out prices), horseback riding, shopping, summer festivals at the ski slopes, tubing. Not a camper? Come along anyway, there are motels and B&B's too. Families are welcome too. You can always stay longer than just the weekend.

That would be awsome if you could make it Triss, its somtime in June but no definite weekend had been set yet!! I am bringing the girls and Brad may make the trip too, any excuse to get away from the shop!!

I would HAVE to bring the kids. If I am going across the country, we have to visit family in Delaware and other friends on the coast. It would be a major trip for us, probably about 3 weeks total.

I just mapped it, almost 3000 miles but that would be traveling across the Northern States. I would probably do it going through Colorado (family) and across I-80 the whole way. Then come back the Southern States and through Utah (mom) on the way back.

geez, why can't money grow on trees?!? I have to save $$$ to go to Colorado Springs for a family reunion in July with my Daddy, so I won't be able to make it. And I LOVE to camp! I would also love to go to NY though, & meet everyone there. O'well, hope you all have a great time, & will be looking forward to the pictures of your camping trip.

Maybe I could get him to drive with me? I seriously doubt Dan would be able to make a 3 week trip. Maybe I should fly and rent a van? But the problem with that is getting camping equipment.

I was just looking and flying and renting a car would be so much cheaper than driving the whole way. AND I could visit and hang out more though i would miss out on meeting people along the way.

Well I would rent a van. The problem would be sleeping bags and a tent. Everything else I could either shop for there or bring along like clothes and such.

Penny the B&B I put the link for I could walk to from my store in about 20 seconds. Its right in town. See in this picture that I took from my front door, to the left of the yellow building theres a phone pole,behind that you can see a bluish color building behind the trees? Thats the B&B Stewart airport is in Newburgh, about 1hour & 15 minutes to drive to. Albany airport I've never been to. Its farther than I thought. 1hr 43 minutes!!

My choices would be Albany, Buffalo, Long Island, and La Guardia. There is no way I would take the kids on a bus though. That scares me.

Triss - Don's office is right across the highway from LaGuardia - it is an hour's drive from here in very good traffic. Then Wrennie's is another almost 2 hours north from here.
Long Island? Which airport - JFK?
Albany might be a better bet, though I'm not quite sure the distance there. Did you look into Stewart International? It's a small airport, but closer to Wrennie.

I was just looking at what airports Southwest flies into. All it says is Long Island ISP. No idea what that is. Sounds like Albany is the closest to her. And an hour drive is not a major deal if I am saving a 3000 mile drive across the country.

Don thinks Stewart is the closest, but Albany is good too - a straight ride down the thruway to her exit, and then a straight ride (well, not exactly straight - a bit curvy, but on 1 road) to Phoenicia.
Wrennie - when you think of dates in June, please take into account when schools finish up? I'm sure they are a bit different all over the country. Our county ends on June 22, but things get pretty hairy around here around Regents exams time - the 2 weeks before!

Well... I just remembered that Don said there is a "slight" chance he has a meeting in Seattle next June. Wouldn't that be a shame if I was out in Washington, while Triss is back here??? I was planning on going with him and meeting the North Western contingency from here, and then we were talking about going up to Alaska, where we met.
That aside... as I said... school gets out here June 22.

July is good here as well. In fact, I prefer July cuz it gives us time to settle into summer.

Oh and Lynne, I really hope the Seattle meeting happens. I will drive on up to get you while Don is working and we can have some fun. Maybe Patty and Sarah can come up and we can all hang out in Seattle and go visit Bill.

I'd rather drive too Angie, but I just cannot see cross country on my own with the kids.
If you go Cher, we should plan on flying in together.

The weekend of June 22nd works for me (now, of course, but something always comes up doesn't it??) July also works for me. The only problem I see with the weekend of June 29th is that is considered the fourth of July Weekend too and I know I can't make it then, it's such a busy time up here in vacationaland..........
