I've flown Boston to Seoul numerous times. A little trip like that barely registers with me.

I drove from Providence to Wilmington N.C. once, only took 15 hours.

Indeed.  I'm an articulate man.  Perhaps Yi's problem is Yi's. :hmm:

Anyway, I can't take off work even if it were free, since I've got to continue working till I take a week or two off for hardcore bar study (I'll be studying prior to that, just not ten hours a day).  This is, granted, assuming the hearing goes well. :x

Since it's my vacation, I'm willing to work with what's best with you guys. I don't really have any concrete plans, just gonna hang with the family.

That Monday should be good I think. As I said earlier I'm may not have access to a car. Even if I do, a lot interesting Languish oriented stuff will be closed for the Federal holiday/winter.

You guys have GPS? If we are going to meet in my town and some of you don't have it, the easiest public place to meet up before heading out to a bar or whatever would probably be the parking lot of the Town library, it's not far from the highway.  But it would be closed for the weekend, maybe snowed in...(though it's also a public park open every day) :hmm:

Quote from: TonitrusI checked their website, the USS Massachusetts should be open (in fact, they're having some kind of MLK-day scavenger hunt thing for families).

Ooh...google suggests that would be just a 35-40 minute drive for me.

Let me look into the car situation, that sounds like a good option.
Title: Re: Boston Area January Meet
Post by: Tonitrus on January 03, 2013, 09:30:52 PM
If I can make it, I can provide transportation.  Though if the meet is on Monday...that would be the travel-home day for me.

Also would need to figure out how to best circumnavigate NYC. :hmm:
