Ahhh! Weekend Turmoil!

But first, some pimping. I know I've told some people to read deepredbelle's Mythologies, and if I didn't, well, I am now. She writes like poetry, the good kind, and as anyone in my writing group knows, I'm no fan of poetry normally, so the fact I like this should tell you how good it is.

Also, I am a bad, bad person for forgetting to pimp Silk by fan_elune. I was at work last week reading that and I could have left early; I stayed to finish it. I read Middlesex a while ago, and the processing of silk that she brings up here has that same inside-knowledge feel, and she wrote about Fanty and Mingo, Serenity-only characters, and made them fabulous (as in 'absorbing' but also as in faaaaaaabulous, savvy?). One of the most sensual and awesome backstories for side characters I have ever read, for real.

Aaaaaaand we're back to weekend peril!!! Friday might be movie plans, but my sister and brother-in-law are coming in at midnight to Newark. Anyone know how long it takes to get from here to there by transit and how much? I might just do that and try to make the movie.

Saturday, I think I'll be home to see aforementioned sibling and sibling-in-law, but there's a party I want to go, too. It necessitates finding a costume, a little last-minute, moreover, but sibling and in-law will be at a wedding, so I could probably go. Maybe I could drive down? I have no idea.

OK, then take a train from Penn Station to EWR. There are a couple of lines that stop there, so trains go frequently. Your ticket will also be for the Airtran, which will take you from the train station to the terminal. That's why the ticket is expensive and only one-way. (Also, since you need the ticket for the Airtran, DON'T CHUCK IT).

It's pretty simple and doesn't take too long. Do not, under any circumstances, take the PATH. You'd have to take the PATH to Journal Square, switch trains, take it to Newark Penn Station then get on an NJ transit train to go one stop to the airport, which is so much more complicated than it needs to be for you. As for how long it will take, I'd check the train schedules.

Or she could take the PATH from WTC straight to Newark.

If the bus between Newark-Penn and EWR is running, she could take that straight to the appropriate terminal. The only reason to take NJT is if the bus isn't running.
