don't know the travel arrangements for sure yet, but it looks like we'll be driving in to westchester somewhere and leaving our car at a metro north station for the weekend. we'll porbably take the train into grand central and stay with my family who have a place in battery park city. probably come in sat late morning-early afternoon sometime and leave sometime monday. (we both have the entire following week off from work!). She'll be with me (not to Azucar though) and we figured we;d take the opportunity to enjoy the city for a while.
it was actually surprising easy to get the go-ahead from her. You guys were all correct, honesty was the way to go!
