We're all looking forward to this fest, and certainly it should go off without a hitch. The weather looks good for Friday and Saturday, sunny with highs in the 80's. Friday, since I am staying in NJ that evening, I will drive to the Route 73 RiverLINE station and travel up to Trenton Transit Center, then take an express train to New York. My intention is to leave Route 73 at 9:17, arrive Trenton Transit Center 10:05, and then depart on the NEC line from Trenton Transit Center 10:25, arriving NYP 11:47. That puts me into the city just in time to meet at 12 Noon for lunch. On Saturday morning, I will try hard to make the NJT train that leaves Lindenwold at 7:38 AM, getting into 30th Street Station at 8:20. I can then hang there an hour and meet those who will also be starting their R3 journeys from 30th Street Station. Should I not make the 7:38 train, I still have the PATCO option. In that case, I go to 8th & Market and catch the R3 from Market East. As for lunch on Saturday in AC, we will discuss that on the way out. I am certainly open to eating at a buffet at one of the casino's but we should keep in mind that we don't want to spoil our appetites for steak dinner later on. Junk food at The Walk or on the Boardwalk suits me fine. Remember if going directly to the Boardwalk we can always hop the shuttle bus or jitney right after arrival in ACY. As you know we're set for Lone Star Steakhouse for dinner Saturday; we have roughly 10 or 11 people as of now. See you all Friday and/or Saturday! Kevin
