bubbles 11a, 2 and 430PM
Trying to estimate when we would be back to south ferry,
and how long the whole ESB takes ( reg tics are about $22,
less for kids and express is close to $50 no matter what age).
No fancy brunch. kids are 8 and 10. And not my family’s style anyway.
Pete, I think the ferry back to Bowling Green from the Statue of Liberty takes 15 minutes and they leave every half an hour or so. It would take you 30 minutes from the Whitehall St. Station to 34th St and 5th. I waited 45 minutes on the ESB line when I went (and you are going on a holiday weekend) and then you can stay as long as you want. Where is American Girl? That is closer to Rockafeller Center right? So that is a 12 block walk or so.
Pete – I think fitting in bubble show might be tough and hard on all involved as you guys will be exhausted after the ESB I think.
ok gotcha on the brunch – just make sure to fit in a food/sit down break though to give everyone a chance to re-group
MM – wow! so crazy that you actually saw a plane and 2 fighter jets
my husband thought maybe the plane was Air Force 1 – but I reminded him Obama already had landed yesterday morning so it couldn’t be. Perhaps it was another major head of state from another country arriving and was being escorted
this stuff is fascinating to me though – however like you said – it defintely kept me up for awhile
Re MM’s comment about political discussions. I stay out of them now. The potential for people really wounding one another is amazing. Why bother? Is this the place where people are converted or won over?
No. Which is the only point of getting into a political discussion in the first place.
Sometimes people are just playing around and why bother getting caught in that web.
Cgar, It was the Farm thread —

“smart lady – are we really the only 2 people who get it?”
whatever all you people are getting, I want one too. If it is free, of course.

I think the tix I bought for Statue say 8AM. So I’m guessing that is time I show up at ferry place. (I read that 8:30am is the 1st departure).
“named one of the great provocateurs on b’stoner by some poster”
bxgrl, who named names? Where was the post?
“He likes to pull the wings off flies, too”
Did he torture kittens and puppies, too?
