I have a tricky problem that's coming up. I have been invited to the wedding of Southern Belle in early May (got engaged at Christmas, so no hanging around). Thing is, Southern Belle is getting hitched in Virginia which of course will mean another trip over to The States.
I have checked out prices and at the moment the best deal I can get so far is London to New York for about two hundred and fifty pounds (via Toronto). If you are wondering why I'm looking at going to New York (which is seven hours by train north) or Washington DC is the fact that the cheapest flights are Tuesday-to-Tuesday and so I would have a few days before and after the wedding to fill up.
The problem is that apart from the Bride and the Groom I don't really know anyone living on the East Coast and to be honest, killing off nearly a week by myself isn't really that tempting. I know that there are plenty of museums and the like and I would easilly be able to fill up my days, but to be honest I really need someone to drag me out to places in the evenings, or I would simply stay in a write postcards.
There is Broadway, baseball (is the season started by then??) and all sorts of things that can be used to fill up evenings, just making me go will be the trick.
So I shall have to decide fairly soon as to whether I will be heading west or not.
