Confirm me as well, Dovster. I'm now leaving on a 5:30am Christmas day - award inventory disappeared in the 10 minutes I was contemplating.
I'd love to return to McSorley's - it has been a few years. Unfortunately, in my time away I've picked up a wheelchair and am not sure that one can get in there?

I will update the first post in a moment.

Just not too late though, since I will have a flight out of JFK later that evening.-J.

SDC madness
I might be able to SDC to the BWI-JFK flight arriving 255, JFK-SEA departing 655; bag will be checked through to SEA, so I would only be carrying my laptop case
given that the forecast is for light rain showers, what's the consensus as to whether that's enough time to Uber to and from McSorley's?

Secondly, perhaps some New Yorker can tell you what traffic will be like leaving Manhattan on that day. I suspect that it might be very heavy as people rush home to Queens and Long Island.
If so, you would be better off taking the subway to Penn Station and then getting on the train to JFK.
Lastly, if you want my US cell phone number, send me a PM. That way you can call me before leaving JFK to see if there has been any last minute change in plans. We might wind up heading somewhere other than McSorley's.

I was hoping to meet you and was wondering why you had gone from definite to off the list. I'll definitely be around the remainder of the day and will be free until midnight Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

It's a beautiful ceremony and I imagine that it is outstanding at St. Patrick's. I have been to several European cathedrals for Christmas midnight Mass (obviously, as an observer only) and would be tempted to join you but as I am arriving in NYC at 5 am on Dec 24 (after a 12 hour flight) and flying out of JFK in the early morning the next day I suspect I will have to go to sleep long before then.

Very much looking forward to the Mass. One of my former pastors is very close friends with Cardinal Dolan and I have been hoping to meet him for quite some time. I would invite you, but it is unfortunately a ticketed event.
Don't think I'm going to keep my hotel the night of the 24th given the 6am flight and midnight Mass combo. I'll go to JFK and get some work done afterwards.
They are really holding back UGs on the JFK flights this week, so no idea where I stand in the lottery. I'll be at the bottom of the DM list because of my award ticket, though it is a peak-level for me on the return.

You said earlier you'd be in LAS for a week and a half? I'm flying into LAS Jan. 2nd at 11am. Will you still be in town? Leaving Vegas on the 5th.

Did you finish typing it yet?It is cruel to the Dovster to have a FlyerTalk name such as fungirl and announce that you are coming — and then mention a husband as a +1...
