We have plane tickets! I am really going to New York! and Boston! and home!
The good news is, we fly directly from Bristol both ways. The bad news is, it's a little more expensive than we had in mind, and lands in Newark rather than JFK.
If anyone catches me buying Stuff(TM) between now and then, slap me. I am officially broke.
With one exception. I own the Blue Guide to New York. It's comprehensive, and is a valuable reference tool and for general reading, but is a) too heavy for actual travel, and b) so exhaustive that I'm finding it impossible to whittle down the vast number of things to see to fit into the few days we'll have. I think I should invest in a lesser guidebook and admit I'm an amateur. I should possibly stop reading the Forgotten NY site, as it gives me far too many ideas, but if by any chance he's doing a tour while we're there I'd definitely go.
