@Dan
My office is 15 min away from LGA, where I'd be coming from. It would be my pleasure to pick you up.

P.s. It can save each person about $5 :)

Work on Sunday morning?

Dan, I'll drive you from CLE.

Thanks for the offer...reminds me of when Yubie picked me up from JFK on my way back from Brazil and drove me around the entire day :)

I'll probably come in on the early flight and daven at the ohel.  If anyone wants to chauffeur/babysit me for the whole day though I won't say no.  Otherwise a rental is probably best.

I think someone might take you up on that offer. (not me)

what do you mean? it would be my honor to be his chauffeur/babysitter. but i dont have a car
you guys dont pick up your friends from the airport?

and about this la stuff, um... i think i was one of those trouble local kids when u were there ;)
and lav davka did i come out totally frum

but, to put in my 2 cents, i prefer la/nyc to small towns. people dont have that narrow mindedness. its just the fact. i think. i never did an official study though, and i dont wish to judge or offend anyone. personally, i think i gained a lot from travelling the (parts of) world - with regards to being narrow minded. but someone who comes out frum from la or nyc (not like a stupid CH'er) is much better off with regards to his outlook i think. and i dont see myself being satisfied with having frum kids. i want them to be normal. so no pittsburgh ;)

I'm obviously biased, but I don't think Clevelanders or other "small towners" are narrow minded.  People here are have been around the world and back, but just prefer the simple, calm, spacious, and safe environment that you can get here that you can't get in NYC.

I found the outlook and open mindedness of out of towners to be much better then those who come from NY. Of course  CH is another story.

Who?
I was discussing with AsherO if we should pick u up from the airport. He wasn't sure if you'd rather that or driving you own fancy Avis car...
In any case, iI would be happy to drive u around Sunday (not sure about the babysitting part, I stopped 'pampering' a while ago :)). If the winner is the one who has the nicest car, I'. Not sure my Chevy Minivan will qualify, but it definitely will give you a smooth ride wherever you take it.

Regards from Venice. I sent Rami your regards and he knew that many people were coming because of the Iberia deal.

Lol...
I don't need any fancy cars...I drive a beat-up Chevy Minivan at home that I traded for a mileage ticket :)
The Caddy/Infiniti just becomes a fringe benefit of traveling when I go from a regular joe shmoe to getting treated like royalty by the airlines/car rental agency/hotels.

If someone wants to take me from LGA to the Ohel, LM, and back to LGA I won't say no to saving everyone a few bucks.

Many NY'ers have an unfortunate superiority complex...I hope that people that travel and get out of NY as much as DDF'ers do would rise above that.

If any confirmed DO attendees want to try for Talia's for free you can post your referral link (one-time exception!) here.
If 3 people buy with your link then your purchase is free.

The final date is 3rd April?

Scary to book so far ahead...

(2), 4, 6 weeks earlier would be tops.

If AAA could show up that would be nice, as didn't finish his treatment last time...
