Ready for a visit??

Hey guys!! Soooo, as the title implies, anyone ready for a visit from way out West?

I realise I've been completely lacking in my updating and telling you all of my new life plan, so in order to put everything in context, here is the quick version:
I've decided that, in order to get myself back into the UK and on a proper life plan, I'm going to study in London for my PGCE - my Postgraduate Certificate in Education. I'm going to be a Maths teacher :) Yupp! I love maths and helping people learn maths, and I'm finally excited about a career possibility, so I figure I'm on the right track. ((PS - at this very moment, Eric Jenks just FacebookChat-ed me. ..... )) Anywho, I have an interview with King's College on 10th March, so I get to take a trip back over to London, and thus I figured I'd make myself a little stop on the way back - and that's where you all come in!

I have tentatively laid out the dates of my various visits, but of course I want to run them by the group to see if/who will be where before I purchase. My hope is to go to London for a few weeks (Dave and I are going on a side trip to Prague while I'm there!), then pop up to Skidmore to visit my London Freshers, and then see all the NYC - and hopefully more?? - people before flying back to Denver. So, here is what I'm thinking...

Monday 2nd March to 20th March I'll be in London
Monday 21st March I'll fly to NYC and then take the train up to Saratoga
Friday 27th March I'll take an afternoon train back to spend the weekend in the City.

Sooooo, what do you think?
To the NYC girls - do you think you might be able to put me up for a few days?
To the non-NYC people - any chance you might be around in that time frame?
To all - if you're not around but will be in some vaguely-close time, let me know and I'll see about rearranging myself. I could pop into the city before Skidmore, or even hit it up both weekends and move my Skidmore visit around if necessary. Just let me know!

Miss/love you all!!!!!

I could make a trip to NYC then, especially because if I buy soon my bus ticket will only be $20 roundtrip. wow, i love living in the real world where i don't have to take a ferry to get places. and thank god for megabus boston-nyc tickets. as long as i could crash at someone's place??

claire i NEED/WANT/HAVE to see you before i go to africa, especially if you aren't sure about memorial day weekend

Wow - we reached 100!!! I definitely wouldn't have guessed we'd come that far. I feel like balloons should start raining down on me :)

And yay! - I was hoping a Lizzie might be able to make it over for a little visit. I DEFINITELY MUST see you before Kenya! I'm not positive about Memorial Day weekend, but I'm fairly certain I'll be able to make it. Because how could I miss our reunion, especially when I'll be going away for a long time too! (although of course not as long as you. I still check flights from Heathrow to Kenya every so often....)

I have to work that weekend, but I could always switch things around if we make definite plans so I could meet you guys in NYC (I dont work on the 21 weekend though, but switching wont be a big deal at all). Maybe I could convince Tony to go too....FINALLY! And congrats on going back to school! What age students will you be learning to teach? High school age? I'm glad you finally updated..I was really curious about your future plans. I miss you bunches...can't wait to be able to see you!
