I have a little update on my schedule...
My mom is wanting to use a frequent flier ticket for my trip up there but the only availability is to fly in October 19. She does not leave for the wedding until Oct 21 and it does not make any sense for her to drive to Manchester and pick me up on the 19th, then all the way back to VT, then all the way back to Manchester on the 21st for her to fly out.
So, we have decided that I will fly in on the 19th and then just kill a couple of days. I am going to rent a car so I will have transportation. If anyone is in the general area and has time for a visit in the late afternoon/ evening of the 19th, anytime on the 20th, or until mid afternoon on the 21st, please let me know.
I don't mind driving a ways on the either the 19th or 20th and spending the night in one of your area's finest cheap motels. I am up for the adventure!
Then, on the 21st, I will drive back up to Manchester, drop my rental, and pick up my mom's car that she will leave at the airport parking, and then drive back up to my parent's cabin in north Vermont to surprise my dad who thinks he is having to stay by himself!
Then I will be in northern Vermont until Monday the 25th when I will drive back to Manchester and pick up my mom from the airport, give her car back, and fly by to Texas.
I will have Oct. 22-24 completely free to possibly visit some of the folks a little further north if it works out. Of course I will have my dad with me but he enjoys driving around the countryside so we will probably be doing that anyway, as long as it is not too far from their cabin in West Burke(60-75 miles or so)
I would still love to visit as many IAP members as possible on this trip so if you can squeeze me into your busy schedule and are anywhere near where I will be at a given time, PLEASE let me know!
