Should I Go On a Free Trip to NYC?

May 26th, 2007 at 01:55 pm

I got a phone call at home today from one of the librarians in our system. She offered me her place on a trip to NYC to attend Book Expo 2007. They leave this Thursday! Should I go? Can I get everything ready in order to go?

I'll miss graduation next weekend. We don't have any children graduating this year, but DS#2's good friend is graduating so I wouldn't be here for that.

DS#2 also leaves next Sunday for his summer job so I wouldn't be here to take him. DH can do it, but would he do as a good of a job as I would? LOL! Would he make sure that DS has his seizure medicine to last him all summer? Would he nag him to death up until the final second of saying good-bye to remember to take it every night like he needs to?

Can my family make it without me for 5 days?

It's free, it would be a blast, I'd love to see NYC again...what to do????

   You've earned, enjoy yourself. Your family will be just fine and will be glad to see you when you get back.

   How free is free? Are all of your expenses paid for? All of your meals? All of your transportation? Before you decide, find out what the trip will actually cost you out of pocket.
   
   If it won't cost much and you've got the money, go and have a blast.

   Everything is paid for: travel, meals, hotel, etc. The only expense would be if I choose to buy something.
   
   I'm the one at work that pays the bills for things like this. LOL!

   In that case, YES. Go and enjoy yourself. NYC is a great town. Always something fun to see and do and no need to spend money unless you want to. You can walk from Javitts Center to midtown/Times Square area to see the sights. You can walk to Rockefeller Center. And, of course, the subway is cheap if you want to go elsewhere (South St Seaport, Central Park, Ground Zero). Plenty of free places to spend time.
