All of it sounds great to me! I can be flexible and will join up with the group at whatever point during the day when it is most convenient for everyone else. I'm such a homebody these days I could find stuff to shoot almost anywhere. Heck, I could just get off the train and spend the day in Grand Central Station!

Thanks for organizing it Terry!

Tim there is no convenient for everyone else. You can meet up with us at whatever time works for you! Are you heading down from Maine all in one day? Staying over? Once you know we can help with any other details on what will work.

I'll be taking the train from Westport, Ct. Where do you plan to board? Perhaps we can hook-up on the train.

If the same train doesn't stop at both stations we can meet in Grand Central.

Looking forward to seeing you again and meeting everyone else.

Hey Mike. I'll be coming to CT a day or two before the 17th and staying somewhere in Southern CT. I'll be on a "business trip" and use one of the days to visit HA and another to maybe fish the Farmington. Chances are I would be training in from Westport as well so meeting up sounds perfect.

Still undetermined for me is the timing, whether it's to be 9:00 AM or noon. But I can be easily convinced of the wisdom of either. So I'll leave that up to you.

Helen: If this works out with Mike, you may be relieved of the pressure to act as baby sitter. On the other hand, it would be a great pleasure to be greeted by your shining face as we exit the train, so it's your call.

It would be helpful to me in planning and/or making a lunch reservation to get a count of attendees. So, please post or send me a PM as you decide to attend.

I would still like to attend, but it is still more than a month away! My schedule is usually measured in hours before the meeting....I will definitely give you a few days head's up, but I don't think I can commit to anything right now...

I'm game to go in any time that works for you. If you want to be at Central park at 9:00 we would have to take a train at about 7:00.

My normal train when going into New York is the 9:40. This one always has seats available and gets us to Grand Central at about 10:45. We could then comfortably get downtown for a noon lunch.

The compromise is to take something in between, phone the group to see where they are and join them there.

Let me know what your preference is... I'm okay with whatever you want to do.

Cheers

Mike: Let's do the 9:40. I imagine the earlier trains will be packed, and now that I'm de-civilized, it might be too much of shock to my system to be tucked in with all those commuters. I'll contact you in advance to finalize the details.

So (as long as Mike agrees) the rest of the group can look for us at the noontime destination.

Thanks again to everyone, and I am psyched to finally meet all of you.

No problem Stuart, it was more a plea to get a general idea and to not get surprised by a larger than expected turnout and have trouble finding the right spot to accommodate the group.

Just a bump to make sure all in the NY area or further afield that want to
join in on the 17th see this thread!

Terry,
Please count me in and Cynthia too, I am pretty sure that we can make it.
Daughter and grand baby will be flying in the afternoon before, but heck, they are only visiting from Moscow (but will stay for two weeks).
It looks like the Accela gets us in to Penn station at 10:45am if we come down on the 17th, so maybe we can get there the night before. We will work it out.
