Jiff and Peach- I definitely want to help! You can count on me to help bring food, hostess, ferry from hotels or airports or whatever- I'll call you this week!
I am close enough to Jiff and Peach to drive back and forth for everything! This is a great idea! You two are fabulous!!!!
NJ Newark airport is closer to Peach and Jiff, but Kennedy and LaGuardia are accessible for me to pick someone up if that helps-
wow, wow, wow- I am excited!

Atlantic City is a little far, but you could do an overnight before or after-
Like Dottie, I am close enough to be able to help - just let me know what you need! Ferry service from JFK? from LaG? I could probably even find Newark if I need to!!! NOT to mention that some of the less expensive flights come into MacArthur airport, which is really really close to me!
I think that I am just thinking out loud here. As to hotels, there are two within 5 minutes of my house. Neither of them are Marriots One is new. One has a nice view of Kohls. I will go to each one, check out prices....I don't think that either one is terribly expensive. I would like to see if I can reserve a block of rooms. I am looking for neat and clean and a place to gather....perhaps a private room where we can hang out and relax and that maybe where I would be able to bring in a catered Saturday night light buffet. You all might not be too terribly hungry after Chinatown and Little Italy!
I tend to think around food....gee is it any wonder I am so fluffy!
Jiff and I will do a dinner Friday night at either my house or mom's.
gee.....at what point do I tell dh?
As to transportation. Yes, Newark is closer to Jiff and me. I will look into ground transportation and will work something out depending on your arrival times and my availability for personal pick up. Don't fret, there are a lot of options and all of them doable to suit individual needs.
LaGuardia, JFK and MacArthur (I didn't know that one!), if SamsG and Dottie are willing .....that would be super. Debkay might like to see the view of Shea and Yankee Stadium!!!!
As to Atlantic City, Barb, we are about two hours away. We are closer to New York. Consider making a long vacation out of it and renting a car to drive down there and spend a few days. You would be best suited to making your departure home from Philadelphia if that is what you choose to do.
Ruth, I am counting on RubiRose and noranoranoranoranora!!!!
off to find a calendar to check on Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial day and all that good stuff!
f you KNOW you are going to go, and are adventurious, go to HOTWIRE.com and search for the best prices. The deal are awsome, I've used it several time. The down side is that you do not know what airline you will be using until you actually pay your money, and there are not refunds.
