Hypothetically speaking, if you were to come to NYC in September, how long would you be coming for?

FrauKlein

In the SLIM chance that I'll be there, it would be only for a short weekend of September 11.

So, fly in Friday, leave Sunday?

FrauKlein

Something like that, yes. 

But again - that's a HUGE "if".  Our travel budget is very, very small and we're trying to save it for a vacation of some sort. LOL.

$208 round trip

FrauKlein

That is VERY not bad.  LOL.  Not that you're (not so) gently pushing me in that direction...

Just, you know, doing some research to help you make an informed decision.

Truthfully, it's less the cost of travel than it is the emotional impact of being in NYC on 9/11 for a memorial for Christina.  It took me 8 years to go to NYC at all.

I know.  It's easier when you are here all the time.  You get used to the reminders.  It's probably way easier to avoid when you don't have something starting you in the face at every turn.

I'm also not entirely sure it's something I could do on my own.  And the one friend that I still have who also knew Christina isn't going to be able to come since it's in NY this year instead of Ann Arbor (that's where we all met). 

So, it's a big decision.  But I surely would love to come soley for the purpose of seeing you (and shopping).
