"Isn't That Interesting...?"

They're setting off (illegal) fireworks in Halifax, Duncannon, Camp Hill, and Marysville, and we can see them from here, even though we're rather far away, especially from Halifax. They keep making popping splittering cracking noises and Mum and Waen went out to stand on the hill by the Goblin House and watch them.
They didn't tell me they were going, or I would have gone too...!
I realised that with my salary at work, I'll be able to buy my own tickets to New York. I earn minimum wage, but that'll still be more than enough to go see Hamlet with my Ladymine. It's actually very exciting to realise. Only I was wondering, Zara--if you don't mind--could I have the schedules? Daddy wants to see them. He's still suspicious.
(He's being awful to-day. I have had not to speak to him at least three times.)

Date: 2006-07-10 06:29 pm (UTC)Okay, let's think about this. In the morning, your train will be originating from Harrisburg, so there's little chance it will be late. We'd have an easy two hours to get to the bus station. We'd probably have to use that time to grab sandwiches or something for lunch on the bus, so that we don't risk not eating so that we can run to the theater if we're late.
The way home is where it gets a little tight. Getting in at 8:10 if we're late when your train at 9:15... that's a little risky, but it's the latest train you could get. However, if it would be preferable, and I don't know if we would be, we could forget the train for the return trip and just get you another bus ticket. Then we wouldn't have to be running between the two Philly stations at night.
The 6:00 bus from New York gets us into Philly at 8:10. between Philly and Harrisburg, there's a 8:30 bus that would get you home at 10:30-- that would be ideal, but I'm not sure if we would make it. (Yesterday, my bus coming back from NYC was a little early, as a matter of fact.) If we missed that, and we probably would, the only one we could put you on after it would leave at 11:00 and get you in at 1:00. Would that be too late?
We could just go with the original schedule, but if you miss your train, you'd be on this bus anyway. Your train fare would be wasted and you'd jut have to pay for the bus anyway. The other advantage would be that we could take a later bus out of New York and spent some time with Lillie. If we took the 7 o'clock out of New York, we'd still have a two-hour window (but possibly a two-hour wait) in Philly.
The other possibility would be having Lillie and I walk you to the train in New York. That would get you on the train out of Philly that you might miss on the bus, but it'd mean almost an hour wait alone in the train terminal in Philadelphia. I don't know where the NYC train station is, but we could find it.
