My DD is auditioning at colleges for next Fall, and I told her to book a few in similar locations over February break. Well, she booked auditions in Boston, NJ and NYC, but boy did she spread them out! Now, I'm not sure we can/should do it all in one trip, or if we should come home in between at some point. My travel agent is in the hospital with the flu, so I thought I'd put the situation out to all of you. I'm trying to figure out if we should drive, fly, train, etc. I'm trying to figure out if we stay in hotels, and/or stay at my brother's in CT. Money is tight, but I have 3 credit cards with very low balances, and I can use them.
So, amateur travel agents, here's the situation:
We live in Rochester, NY. When we travel to NYC, NJ or Boston, we absolutely always drive. But I am nervous about driving in NYC (we usually stay at my brother's house in Connecticut and take the 45-minute train ride into the city). So we may consider taking the train at some point.
Here are the dates:
Saturday, Feb 17 - audition in NJ
Monday, Feb 19 - audition in Boston
Thursday, Feb 22 - performance in NYC (11pm!)
Sunday, Feb 25 - audition in NYC
So the biggest issue, in my opinion, is whether or not to return home after the Boston audition, and then go back on Thursday. It would save 3 nights in a hotel, but it's so much driving!
Any advice/suggestions appreciated!
