I just wanted to check in with everyone and see how everyone is doing?

It did go a bit quiet after last week's blizzard, didn't it?  Travel plans, anybody?  Questions about what preparation you should be doing before the move, or what your first steps should be after you get over here?

More concrete plans for the Blizzard Party 2018?!  I think I saw October 7th floated as the best date for the majority of people...?  If the majority of people expect to travel in by train, someplace in the city centre or by the waterfront could be interesting.  If we're driving in, perhaps something just off the motorway?

I have it penciled in.  Once it gets permanently in, I may book a room for Saturday night and take my kiddos to the zoo (I've heard it's good).

I'm hoping so, but working with the airlines is very confusing. I'm hoping I can get her on the same flight as me.
