I am sad for goddesstogo, who is stuck in the Toronto airport because of the weather between here and there. Hopefully they'll get out soon! And safe travels to everyone else!! SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!

Ugh starrs, what a way to start your vacation!
It was a little rainy here a little while ago, but the forecast says it isn't supposed to get bad until the afternoon, when there's a high probability for thunderstorms. Right now it's clear over my slice of Brooklyn, but I see big billowy white clouds over NJ in the direction of Newark...

I'll be driving in for about 3 hours from central PA - rain can't stop that, although it might slow me down. It's a bit dreary here now so it will probably travel with me...sorry!
Can't wait to meet you all!

I am looking forward to meeting everyone. Travelbuff, just to let you know my screen name is ITLHERMITS. Although I think I like LTLHERMITS better! I will probably show up a little early so please let me help you in any way I can!
And the sun has come out in Ossining. Fingers crossed for the weather tomorrow!

Frustratingly, it's been beautiful all day here in Brooklyn. (Frustrating because it's such a contradiction to the airline situation!!) However, there have been reports of a tornado on eastern LI.
tdk320n, I guess you must have gotten the brunt of it! We hope you make it through the storm and to the UWS tomorrow... good luck!
<purple>i</purple>tlhermits, travelbuff and I definitely thought it was with an L. Like "little hermits".
awygn, so nice to hear from you! travelbuff and I were reminiscing about our mini-GTG with you. See you tomorrow!
Unless some miracle happened, I believe goddesstogo had to cancel her trip here. And to think, she planned a long weekend in NYC based on our GTG! Sounds like the air situation at Toronto was terribly frustrating. My fingers are crossed for all our air travelers for safe travel!!
The forecast is for heavy rain again tomorrow morning. Hopefully those of us left can sally forth - at least the atmosphere will be sunny inside the restaurant!

Awygn is coming OH THAT IS SO GREAT. It will be great to see you tomorrow and catch up on all your travels.
Hopefully the weather will be co-operating with us, and if not there's lots of room inside the restaurant and wine to keep us comfy, lol.
See all you tomorrow.
AND a HUGE ----THANK YOU to ggreen for being my C0-Host.

Hi everybody,
I'm so sorry we're not going to make it to the GTG today and to have our wonderful weekend in NY! To make a bad situation even worse, the airline has lost our bags!!!!!
That's a whole other rant and I won't get into it or the other frustrations of poor service and bad weather right now. I just wanted to say that I hope you have a wonderful time and I look forward to reading the details and hopefully seeing some pictures.
And thanks again, ggreen, for all your help and patience. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet this time but next time for sure and maybe in Toronto too.

My luggage just arrived! So glad I don't have to borrow clothes for the rest of the trip!
What a fun GTG! Thanks travelbuff and ggreen for planning it. The food was wonderful as was the company. Just a fabulous afternoon. Many thanks!

Just checking in to say that today was really wonderful. I enjoyed meeting everyone, including the Fodor's reps, and thank travelbuff and ggreen for all their work to set this up.
Loved the restaurant too - I recommend the mussels!
