Jody, that would be lovely–thank you. I looked at the PATCO site and found a station a block and a half from my hotel–very convenient. I sent my e-mail address as a message to your Facebook page so that we can plan further. Cheers, Chandra

Chandra — After your morning sightseeing in Philly, do you want to consider taking the PATCO high-speed line from Center City to Collingswood? (The stop here is just 4 blocks from my house, and I could pick you up there.) I’d like to leave here maybe around 2 or 3 p.m. to drive over to Stockton. — Jody Staton

I am sharing my car with someone at this point, and also trying to arrange a family gathering over the weekend in NJ, so probably have enough on my plate now. But thanks. I hope you, Jody and Chandra, can meet up and make it work out.

Jody, your thoughts are generous (would have picked me up at the airport …)–thank you. I’m game for joining you but, of course, we’ll have to hear from Jenny because I will not have a car. Cheers, Chandra

Chandra and Jenny — If I didn’t have my writers group meeting Thursday night, I’d volunteer to pick Chandra up at the airport and to stay at my house. However, I wonder if the two of you would like to meet here at my house in Collingswood early Friday afternoon, and proceed together from here. — Jody Staton

Hello, Jenny–I will arrive at the Philadelphia airport on Thursday, January 17, stay the night (Central City) and do some sightseeing, and then head to the conference Friday afternoon. Could I meet up and ride with you? I was planning to take the train but it would be more fun to meet someone on a shared ride. Thank you, Chandra

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your response! As it turns out, I have muscled – figuratively speaking – two friends from my Annapolis poetry group into attending the Getaway. They will both be first-timers. We’ll be driving together. Thanks so much for your offer, and I look forward to meeting you at the Getaway. What genre are you pursuing? Shirley
