<p>Our dreaded Logan pickup will be Wednesday at 5:00 PM… what were we thinking! The plan is to collect S2 and then have dinner in the North End before tackling the trip home. If we make it back by T’day dinner, I’ll consider us lucky. LOL His return is Friday night, hopefully not too bad. S3 is flying in/out of MHT (Tues-Sun) which is only 15 minutes from here and should be a breeze in comparison. Fares from S2’s city to BOS were significantly lower than MHT so that’s how we wound up with this schedule.</p>
<p>Wednesday morning you will probably be, ok although, we have run into a little bit of leftover rush hour traffic getting to Logan at that time. Since you want to park, I would add an hour to be on the safe side, bring a book. Good luck Sunday afternoon, that won’t be pretty. Leave lots of extra time. Security lines will also be very long and I would plan to get her there 2 hours early. Having our kids home will all be worth it. Enjoy the holiday.</p>
<p>Do you live near commuter rail? For $2, the silver line will take you to South Station, to link up with commuter rail. We live 45 min from Logan (on a good day!), but commuter rail station is only 10 min from home.</p>
<p>Whoa, thanks for posting this question, fendrock! Our s has the exact same travel dates, but a ~3:30 arrival and departure times both days! We are a good 1 1/2 hours away with NO traffic, so YIKES! I’ll have a houseful of family from out of town already there, too, so guess I’ll make them get the dinner for themselves the next day, lol!</p>
<p>Just returned from picking up my daughter from Logan – the trip was a breeze, her flight, scheduled for 11am, arrived 20 minutes early, no traffic or parking hassles.</p>
<p>Sunday will be a real hassle. If she can, take the T.</p>
<p>S is coming home by bus–an 8 hour ride. He did not want to miss classes today. He won’t get home until nearly midnight. I don’t expect any help with cooking from him tomorrow!</p>
<p>Bookworm:
The plane would cost around $400 and involve one stop while the bus (also involving one stop) will cost around $70. And he can get to and from the bus station by public transport. S is being careful with his money, having spent a huge amount on a drum kit.
Is your S not coming home? I do like Thanksgiving. We’re having foreign guests and will be introducing them to the tradition.</p>
<p>Merde, DS’s flight from Logan to Dulles is running 90 minutes late, which would mean he’d he miss his connection to our little, local airport. That is the last flight in tonight and everything tomorrow is fully booked. What to do? What to do? :(</p>
<p>1moremom–How far from your home to Dulles? Any buses, trains, shuttles he could take part of the way? You might try calling the airline going to the little airport. Perhaps they are behind also? I know often when there are delays in one part of the system other areas often experience similar delays. I hope he makes it.</p>
<p>1moremom, that’s too bad! rrah is right, often connecting planes run late as well. If not, can he go into DC and get alternative transport from there?
Keeping my fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Logan seems to be getting worse - fog? D’s plane sat for almost 40 min waiting for its turn to take off.</p>
<p>I second everyone who said look into shuttles, etc. If I were in your shoes, I’d even drive as far as Seattle to Portland or Spokane to pick up D if I had to!</p>
<p>We are hoping his connection will be delayed but aren’t optimistic. He says he can get a morning flight out of Dulles so we are looking at airport hotels. If he doesn’t get on a plane in the morning we will hit the road (3+ hours). He is a grad student and I am afraid he will decide that coming home for Thanksgiving is not worth the hassle (and tomorrow is his BD :().</p>
<p>Thanks for the good wishes, Marite; I hope you are well. Where is your DS this year?</p>
<p>Right now, S is on a bus. Traffic was bas, so the first leg of his trip took twice as long. I hope the second leg does not take twice as long either. He has had nothing to eat since lunch and the earliest we can expect him home is 1 am.</p>
<p>We were dreading the traffic but our 5PM Logan pick up was a breeze—YAHOO!!! Followed that up with a great dinner in the North End, take home pastries from Mike’s and absolutely no traffic on the ride home to NH. Last night’s midnight pick up from MHT went just as well. Our Thanksgiving is off to a great start and it’s sooooo nice to have 2 of the boys home!!</p>
<p>1moremom-Last night S’s SW flight was held for 30 minutes waiting for connecting passengers. Hopefully your S has the same luck.</p>
<p>I’ll be keeping a good thought for all our kiddos’ safe arrivals. Happy Thanksgiving to all!</p>
