I have plane tickets

[cjsmith]

I have plane tickets to go see The Mikado. The eastbound leg is a redeye with a plane-change four hours in. That'll be tasty.

I have no idea how I'm getting out to Natick from the airport, but hey, I'll figure out something. If nothing else Boston has public transportation. My parents aren't but two miles from a commuter rail station, and they're even less far from an airport bus that might still be running. Extra bonus points: it's winter, so if I walk a couple miles I'm also icing my feet! Yeah OK, that was lame humor. And that last sentence was worse.

Now I don't know whether to tell my parents ahead of time or surprise them. 8-) 8-) Maybe I'll find out whether they have come across my LiveJournal yet!

i second the vote for surprise. could you alert a friend of theirs, or another relative, just to make sure any last-minute changes get communicated to you? to to make sure your surprise plans don't backfire? a good accomplice is priceless when it comes to surprises.

I talked to my sister this evening. She would be my first choice for accomplice. She actually voted for letting them know ahead of time. She said give 'em the extra fun of looking forward to the visit. I guess there's some truth to that, so that's what I'll do.

Hee, I'm getting excited about this trip. Silly me -- I am going to be so sleep-deprived I'll prolly come down sick, but I'm excited about it anyway.
