I thought this was a good topic, seeing as Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I've got a busier day than normal this year, going something like this:
I'm taking a half day at work on Wednesday.
Wed. afternoon, I'm taking the NJ Transit Express bus from Atlantic City to Philadelphia (first time not taking the train; the bus is quicker!). From the Philly bus station, I'm taking the SEPTA Airport Metro Line to PHL to meet my cousins (wife, husband around 30 and 2 kids), who are coming in from Southwest flight 1125 from LAX, which lands at around 4 in PHL. Since they aren't used to taking planes, I am meeting them on the train. That night, we will take the train back to my dad's in Philadelphia and stay there for the night.
Thursday morning my dad will give us a ride to the Holmesburg Jct. Rail station, where we take the SEPTA train to Trenton, the NJ Transit train to NYC, the Long Island Railroad to Valley Stream, and then the Long Island Railroad shuttle train to Malverne. I do it every year by myself, but have never done it with my cousins. One of them used to be from NYC, so she's used to trains and such, but the husband and the 2 kids will most likely get tired from the day; they've never been on a train before!
We're going to my aunt's house in Malverne, LI; she has the best damn cooking of anyone I've ever known! There will be 50 people there this year! I'm looking forward to it!
