Flying with US Airways from sunny Manchester
not sure where I'm staying yet - organisational issues!
Hoping to get around in 4h30m (ish)
Not travelling with a tour operator
Running for the Jennifer Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Better off saying something like 2pm Saturday afternoon in Battery Park (or whatever) for a meet-up then we could all go on a boat trip together???
a) would be after the International run (if opted for) and before the pasta party.
b) would hopefully not clash with going to the Expo (which you should do as soon as you arrive in NY to miss the weekend crush when the majority of US entrants arrive)
...but if you gotta shop..... you gotta shop!!
If we dont manage to meet 1 et another before travelling 2 NY , How about once the hotel list is drafted , meet at the most convenient hotel on Friday evening , virtually all of us should be out there by then???
I will also have a mobile with me which works with the US
I'm bribing my non-running girlfriend (Tea & Toast Lady) to accompany me by paying for her flight. Think she'll be cheering me on from the Clinique counter at Macy's!
By the way I'm flying 30th October on BA177 from Heathrow to JFK. Staying in Greenwich Village area. Hope to meet some of you before The Big Day.
Add to the list : I'm travelling out on Thursday 31st. at 13.15, from Heathrow with Air India ( very cheap flight and good timings ). Staying at the Washington Jefferson hotel on 318w 51st.
How about meeting at the Javits Expo centre on Friday morning? That way something could be aranged for friday evening or Saturday ?????
More for your list - names that have said they are going: Nuts 2002, Pizza Man , Keith every, Legume, Ronner, Surfer, Jinny 39, Swiss Tony, Chris-manson, Geezer, Liz and nuts , Diane Augustus, Noil, Waapster, and for some reason, I've got snicks down as well but I think thats a mistake. Good luck.
george - many thanks for the bombshell of all those extra names!!! I'll try to find time to contact as many as I can but if any of them are reading this thread then please e-mail me from the forum to be included on the list.
I and some others don't arrive until Friday pm so can't do your suggested meet I'm afraid.
Near to the Empire State is a superb bar called The Gingerman with a massive selection of local and international beers, foods good as well.
Can you tell i'm getting excited.
