Yep, it's a Tuesday. We're driving through Philly on our way from DC to Boston. I'm not sure where we are stopping yet, though. I imagine that will have more to do with what's convenient for the people we'd like to see in Philly. I'm trying to work that out, now, which is difficult since I don't know squat about Philly, heh.

Google Maps is your friend. :-)

It is, but it's hard to trust random people's restaurant reviews. Alternately, we'll be heading back through Philly, on our way back to Florida. Our current itinerary has us leaving Niagara Falls (and possibly going through Albany) on the 20th. It's harder to plan that far out, right now, because it's impossible to know what problems we might encounter before then.

In any case, we'll be headed back through Philly a week plus later, if that would work better. I think I'm just going to email you guys, my other Philly friends, and my friend in Albany to see what I can arrange. I want to see everyone I can, since I have no idea where I will be living by this time next year. It is not inconceivable that might be overseas and quite likely that we'll have kids too boot by that point in time.

There's nothing wrong with August (after we get back from World BoardGaming Championships on August 9), but my doing anything social in the middle of a work week is always challenging, and since Eric doesn't drive mid-week evening socializing is a problem for him too. It may be better if you just call us when you actually make it in the area and we can attempt to plan on the fly over the phone.

I sent you, though lj, a copy of the email I tried to send to you.

Either way, it's likely to be a Tuesday or Thursday. However, since we will likely be through Philly twice, we could always head out to Malvern on the evening of the 20th, assuming Eddy and Vi are better off with the 11th. If you both would rather see us on the 20th, we can probably still manage to see everyone that evening at their own respective homes, since our time line on the way home is considerably more flexible.

I know I had numbers for you guys once upon a time but I can't find them in my contacts list on my phone or in my gmail inbox. It's probably user error, as my husband handed me a glass of wine a little bit ago. Still, it might be a good notion to email me (as in my username here and everywhere else) at gmail with them all the same and I'll follow your suggestion to call en route/on arrival.

The 20th is probably better for us.

If you're heading from Philly to DC, though, Malvern is about an hour and a half out of your way--we're nearly an hour north-west-ish of Philly, so you'd have to head to us and then back eastward again to pick up I95 to DC. You may not want to do things that way, depending on when you want to get to DC and how early you're likely to hit the Philadelphia area. I'm rarely home from work before 6:30-7:00 p.m.
