Summer Travel

[dr_pretentious]

I just booked my tickets for Writer's Weekend. If all goes according to plan, I should be landing at SeaTac around 5pm on Wednesday, 21 June. As of Thursday, early afternoonish, I start working my ass off as a conference volunteer, but from early Wednesday evening on June 21st, up through lunch on Thursday the 22nd, I'm free to hang out with folks in Seattle. seedmoon has dibs.

A while ago, I had this notion that I'd arrange an open-jaw itinerary and fly from the conference to Boston instead of directly home to Jersey, since I owe my many Bostonian friends a visit. Looks like it'll have to be in August, instead. The week before Solstice, I'm at festival. The week of/after Solstice, I'm in Seattle. On the 4th of July weekend, I'm in Forestport for the annual family reunion. If I spent a week in Boston in the middle, there wouldn't be a tutoring practice to come home to. The practice is going great guns right now, but if I'm away for four straight weeks, my students will get used to having that extra hour back in their schedules, and their parents will get used to having a little more money in their wallets. So, August.

Boston folks, what weekends in August are better and worse for my odds of catching up with you?

And Jersey locals--is anybody going to be around between mid-June and the 4th of July for intermittent catsitting/housesitting? (Karmic investments faithfully repaid.)

If you could let us know by a week or so before FSG...::digs up calendar::...early in the second week in June? Thanks for considering it. I'd love to be able to spread the karmic debt around. My being gone for 15 days over a stretch of 23 would add up to a major inconvenience for somebody else, if one person covered the whole thing.

So now I can concentrate on finding someone to cover for us over the festival days, and worry a little later about the rest.

Yet another of the five million reasons to miss vgnwtch. She catsat for us a lot, and made many, many things possible.
