I am cool either way - We have to rent a car anyway so a 45 minute drive would not kill us. The only thing that concerns me with allentown is getting there - unless we pay to leave our car(s) their for the week. We can't just hop a train to or from like we can with Philly.
I was hoping to leave that Thursday night, just so the whole BS of traveling would be over with by Friday and we could enjoy the weekend there. But I am ok with leaving Friday morning if that's what we have to do.
Also I would like to buy the tickets sooner than later, regardless of cost, only so by the time we are ready to leave the $200 I spent on the ticket in April will seem like it never happened - more time to save some dollars for the actual trip. I have so many expenses between now and then I am trying to take care of and the more I get out of the way, the sooner, the better. But I would also like as many of us to cram on one plane as possible too, so, whatever you guys want to do, I'm game.
This year will surely destroy the last two. I am already stoked!
