Welcome all you American/coming to America members, Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! So I guess the first few items we should agree upon are dates and locations. Also I would like to ask anyone else here who would like to help with setting up reservations, making phone calls around for pricing or just plain old web gophers. I think we all fall into that last catagory. So what are your thoughts?
YESSSS New York!! My thoughts on the subject: When I head down to NYC over Thanksgiving I stay in West Nyack, a town about an hour out of the city. I propose we meet somewhere in Manhattan and take it away from there. I remember Times Square is always packed, so that's a no-no. Maybe Rockefellar Plaza?
A few ideas I have. Places to meet: Grand Central Station Starbucks Places to stay and things to do: There are many, but here is a good place to start looking.citysearch.com link

Beg your parents......? I've never been to Grand Central Station, least I don't remember going there.
I'm in the state for a week, but I think I'd only be able to spend a day with everyone else, I wouldn't have to worry about hotel stuff. Two days is stretching it a bit (leaving and then meeting again).
I'm going to have to talk to the folks for awhile, get things straigtened out, but I think we're usually there a few days before and after thanksgiving. Maybe three before and three after, like I said, I'm not sure.
Nightfall, Broke eh? I have friends in the airline business. I would be willing to check with them to see if anything can be done about price. Stay costs is another issue. Do you know anyone in the area? travel link
The weekend after thanksgiving looks like my only shot. Try for one of those days. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Spending that weekend in New York City would be very fiting. Dates are: Fri, 29 November through monday 1 December. Or, if you would like to meet next year sometime.... I'm open for ideas.
Alright, I'll shoot for saturday, then. Thanksgiving's always a thursday so hopefully I'll be able to pull it off.
Ideas for things to do. WTC site visit Central Park Statue of Liberty Dinner ideas Bobby Van's Steakhouse Rossini's Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant
