<p>Great your D is doing well. Dear son graduated in May…I miss our treks (more like schleps) to the 'burg, but he’s living and working in Manhattan so he’s happy as a clam.</p>
<p>His gf is in her last year at CMU, so they’ve been flying back and forth as time and $ allow. Since airfare is ridiculous to NYC or Newark they’ve been flying back and forth out of Philly, then taking NJTransit trains from Philly Int’l to NY. Southwest fares are pretty cheap esp if you can book a little ahead…the train business is a hassle but they can swing it. I don’t think they’ve paid more than $89 each way, sometimes even like $59.</p>
<p>On another note buggy races have been mentioned in this thread. Make sure as a parent you go to at least one buggy race weekend, held during the Carnival weekend in the spring. We went to a couple in his 5 years (of course we cleared it with him first)…the amount of work they put into these things, and the booths they build, are amazing and worth the trip out.</p>
