I despise driving in big cities; I get lost every time and get so frustrated I usually just turn around. This year all my side kicks bailed on me at the last minute. So here's a tenative plan I have come up with.


Greyhound Bus from Washington DC to Queens Village, NY
Leaving @ 10PM (6/6/08)
Arriving @ 530AM

Festivities-----kill time------no place to sleep


Airport from JFK to Washington DC
Leaving @ 6AM
Arriving @ 715AM

Really looking forward to it!
