ACKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! Why does it always have to be on a WEEKDAY?????


I hope all my NY E-trainer buds that make it, have a BLAST!!!

I love Rye Playland- it's so much fun! I think it's about 75 minutes from here if I can remember.

Atlantiskat, if you're definitely going to go, maybe we can carpool together. I don't mind driving but don't want to make the trip alone. This is definitely one trip I cannot talk the dh into making.

Less than 2 weeks away! :happy: :happy:

Wow, lucky for the New York area fans! I used to take a boat trip from Manhattan and spend the day there. It's too far for me now esp on short notice, but I hope a lot of you can make it and have fun.

Thanks, Nancy for all the info. Can't wait!!

With traffic its maybe 2 hours.

CATHY, I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF I AM GOING TO GO. MOST LIKELY. I WILL PM YOU WHEN I FIGURE MY PLAN OUT. I DO HAVE WORK THAT DAY, BUT CAN LEAVE WORK AROUND 3:00-3:30 AND MY OFFICE IS RIGHT NEAR THE NORTHERN STATE, WHICH HOOKS INTO THE CROSS ISLAND TO THE THROGS NECK. I AM SURE GOING TO TRY TO GET THERE. I WILL LET YOU KNOW SOON.

:chloe: 4LIFE

You're welcome! Wish that I could make the road trip!

EEEEEKKKK!!!!!!!
I don't have an E-train! I can't go!








:rotfl: :rotfl: YEA RIGHT!!!!!!!

What's that they say about HELL OR HIGH WATER?????

Thanks, Kathy. I know exactly where that is b/c I used to live not too far from that shopping center. If you want I can meet you at work and we can hop onto the Northern State. I don't mind driving as long as there is someone in the car with me.

Carol, see you there.
Chrissy, hope to meet you.
You too, Rick.
And any other E-Trainers.
Woo Hoo!!

Okay guys, we want recaps and lots of pictures. Have fun!

:elliottcap: recaps * pictures * videos * the whole shebang! * Please :elliottcap:

CATHY, IT'S THE LAKE SUCCESS SHOPPING CENTER. THAT WOULD WORK OUT PERFECT. I WILL SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT IT.

:chloe: 4LIFE

Maybe Elliott is starting to get back in the public eye again. I tried to place myself in his shoes, and he really had no personal/private life at all for about two years. I. could. not. do. it. I am a pretty private person. I've missed him like heck, but I feel like he needed to refuel. I'm excited about the possibility of new recaps, pics and encounters of the Braves Game and the Playland event. :woohoo:
