I think that what happened was when they announced that the crown was being reopened for the first time since 9/11, all the tour companies swooped in and scooped up the tickets. It's seriously sold out for all of September. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-437399 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:27:59 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 437399@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Kilroy, as long as I get to see the Statue of Liberty in person from some vantage point or other, that will do fine! I know I'm not going to cram everything into the few days we have, and won't throw a tantrum if I don't get the moon on a stick too :o) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-437396 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:24:16 +0000 Kilroy 437396@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>bump </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-436880 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:47:42 +0000 Kilroy 436880@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just updating with the latest; we have a definite reservation on 9/3, 7pm at Tir na Nog, which is at 5 Penn Plaza, at 8th Avenue and 33rd St. Reservation is in the name of Collins.</p> <p>One small hiccup, the Statue of Liberty is SOLD OUT for the entire month of Sept., so we're going to have to improvise. I'm checking into other options. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-434624 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:49:43 +0000 2bpurring 434624@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you!!! I would love to come someday and do the touristy thing. I have been there before but it was on business and I had no time to see anything. First on the list would be to meet George! (and you and Mr.Kilroy of course)! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-434623 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:45:04 +0000 Kilroy 434623@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>If you're ever in NYC, 2b, you have an open invitation to come stay (or at least to come meet George). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-434621 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:42:22 +0000 2bpurring 434621@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Lucky MCW!!!!

I'll check about reservations this weekend, which may determine exactly what time we can do this. I'm not worrying too much; the city's pretty dead over Labor Day weekend. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-433608 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:10:46 +0000 beth 433608@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>wish we still lived in NY so i could go to the meet up... take pictures and tell us all about it !! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-433607 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:10:19 +0000 GreatDane 433607@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yay!

Meh, I'll overdose on caffeine &amp; pro-plus!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-433556 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:07:29 +0000 Kilroy 433556@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Nicely summarized, MCW :) I'll stop by the pub in the next couple of days and see about reservations. They'll probably be understanding if I can't give them exact numbers just yet. (yoo hoo, folks!) I don't know how jet-lagged you'll be on Thursday, but we'll do as much or as little as you feel like. Of course, I keep thinking of more things you just *have* to do, like walking over the Brooklyn Bridge...</p> <p>Can't wait, can't wait!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-433487 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:45:07 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 433487@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>*BUMP*</p> <p>OK, in just TWO WEEKS time I will be in New York!!!</p> <p>Reading through this thread, it seems a meet on the Thursday (3rd Sept) is the winner. And unless anyone has a better idea, what say we meet in the pub Kilroy &amp; Mr Kilroy frequent? If we make it early evening, Kilroy can drag me round the sites during the day, then Dorie can babysit me on Friday.</p> <p>Does that sound like a plan? Kilroy is that OK by you? You'll need numbers, so come on New York TDKers, stand up and be counted! ;o) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-419081 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:23:31 +0000 kittymom 419081@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>*bumpity bump bump* We should start a countdown calendar!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-418882 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:01:16 +0000 3 kits staff 418882@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW<br /> I Can't wait!

It's $12 US for just Ellis Island and the Statue vs $27 for the cruise. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-418169 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:30:40 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 418169@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Up if possible, but not if it's bonkersley expensive...I'd settle for a cruise by if need be!</p> <p>Gini - oh WOW! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-418166 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:27:56 +0000 gini 418166@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW you should go to the top of the rock at rockafellar center, the view is really pretty especially at sunset time</p> <p>here is a pic of the view you see <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/NYC_Top_of_the_Rock_Pano.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/NYC_Top_of_the_Rock_Pano.jpg</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-418165 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:27:49 +0000 Kilroy 418165@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Do you actually want to go up the Statue, or just cruise past? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17135/page/2#post-418163 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:24:30 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 418163@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Anything is fine by me, I just want to meet you all!
