How exciting! What's weird is that you felt shaking, then heard the BOOM. It's supposed to be the other way around: hear the P wave, then feel the S wave. Or is that TMI? An earthquake! How exciting!

I was sorry to miss you, too ... we'll see each other soon, I hope. Did Lucia tell you I bought a wheel? (oh, and I felt that earthquake, too. B told me I was dreaming, but the morning news vindicated me.) eeks, that sounds awful!

I was actually thinking of using the service (which would have involved at least 1 1/2 hr. to get to the closest pick-up for me). Anyway, I live not too far from you in Rindge, NH and plan to hire a coach for next year for me and 48 "friends." I have organized coach daytrips to NYC for over 15 years and could with confidence say I'd run a better trip. I've already made plans which would include print-outs of fairground maps and vendor lists. (I sometimes get carried away with detail, but at least no one on any of my trips has gotten lost in NYC). Also, I don't do this for profit, so any money above the cost of the bus will be used for "raffle gifts" and/or goodie bags. I've already conversed with someone who took the Webs bus to see what they do to make their trip so fun. Keep in touch (I'm janl on Ravelry) because I will probably start getting this organized by June of '08) I’m glad you took the time to tell about your bus trip.

Send an email to the owner and let them know--- you can't be the only one thinking this. And, I know for a fact, that the owners said that they would use COACH buses.

An earthquake! Are you sure it wasn't just some kind of fiber avalanche? ;) Even though you had a sucky bus trip I am still TOTALLY jealous and would have loved to have been at Rhinebeck! Glad you had some fun anyway. Hubby and I had to back out last minute because of the flu. Maybe next year...sigh. Yikes! An earthquake!

I almost was going on it, but my partner made some last minute plans instead. And there was a debate over going up to New Hampshire on the next trip. I'll pass now, thanks! And that earthquake was in YOUR neck of the woods....that explains it. :) I am SO sorry to hear that the trip sucked. I almost was going on it, but my partner made some last minute plans instead.
