Glad to see your WT loss is progressing so well. As far as driving

into NYC, be aware that the police are spot checking for ID. You and

your husband should each have a driver's license or other form of ID

readily available as well as the car registration. News reports

consistantly indicate at least a 1 hour delay in getting across

bridges or through the tunnels into Manhattan. Some crossings are " car

pool only " meaning that more than 1 person has to be in the car, but

this won't be a problem for you. At other times, only certain lanes of

the bridges are open. I would suggest that you add at least one hour

to your travel time, and tune in 1010 WINS on the radio when you can.

This is an all news station, which gives traffic reports about every

20 min.

Good luck! I'm finally scheduled for Oct. 3 with Dr. Pomp.

Oct. 3rd is getting closer!

Normally, we allow about 2 1/2 hours to get in from Philly via the

Washington Bridge (most of that time is spent trying to get

across it...!) I just wondered if we need to allow any extra time in

light of the after effects of the WTC disaster? (Uh, oh - there's

that NY paranoia setting in again! Ya think I'da learned by now....)

Anyway, I'd appreciate any insight from the enlightened! <g>
