One Last Trip

September 29th, 2009, 11:11 pm PDT by Greg

We are prepping for our final bit of travel in a travel-filled year. (I can only really travel seriously when on study leave, for reasons that should be obvious.)

Tomorrow night, Kat and I are headed to Brian and Lisa’s wedding. Here’s the plan:

Wednesday:
Four hours of lectures; Kat picks me up Daniela kindly picks me up immediately after lecture and we head to collect Kat and go to the airport. Red-eye to JFK in New York.
Thursday:
Get in to NY really early. Try to get to the hotel: hopefully check in and take a nap, at least drop off our luggage. Explore NYC for the day. Goal: limit ourselves to about two things and see them well; don’t run around like crazy people.
Friday:
Take the train to Poughkeepsie. Get rental car. Dinner at the CIA. [CMPT 165 lecture cancelled.]
Saturday:
There’s a “hike”. Comparing the elevation changes in Poughkeepsie to Vancouver, this can’t be too bad.
Sunday:
Wedded bliss.
Monday:
Train back to NYC and fly out, getting back to Vancouver super-late. [Anne covering CMPT 165 lecture.]
Tuesday:
Recovery.
Wednesday
Back to the grindstone with four hours of lecture.

With any luck there will be enough downtime around the edges to recover from the drag of overnight travel.

    You think you’ve got it tough? Here’s ours:
    * Leave Fri 6AM fly out of PDX to EWR
    * Arrive EWR 5PM, pick up rental & drive 2h to make it to CIA in time for dinner at 7PM
    * Sat-Sun: no clue
    * Mon 12AM drive 2h to NYC.
    * Mon 2AM crash at hotel room.
    * Mon 8AM @EWR catch plane back to PDX
    * Mon 12:13PM @PDX drive to work and catch a few more hours of work
    * Mon 6PM crash

    Oh, and I totally expect it to be a blast! 🙂
