anyone got the day free tomorrow? i'll be at the airport 8:45am to 6:00pm.
pulling together all my flight itineraries (since i kept having to buy segments of the flight and didn't know when i could leave one place), and i
noticed my flight plan is:
fort lauderdale to baltimore (layover in philly)
baltimore to london (layover in philly)
london to zurich
first two are on the same airline, but i thought the first layover was in charlotte. so, i'm going to arrange it tomorrow morning to avoid the
unnecessary trip to BWI.BDx13 - 8-19-2009 at 01:57 PM
Damn... That's one hell of a layover.
I'd come out, but my day is already booked with meetings.
If you have a manageable amount of carryon luggage, I'd recommend grabbing the R1 SEPTA train into the city. Only takes 20 minutes and costs just a
few bucks. Go to the Market East station - you'll be near a number of historic sites (Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Betsy Ross House, etc) and
there are plenty of great places to eat nearby.
You could kill a day in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. SEPTA R1 to Suburban Station, then cab OR Bus 48.
Or just go to South Street and get tattooed at Gavin's shop. That's what I'd do!random - 8-19-2009 at 02:13 PM
Nice ideas. Carryon should be totally manageable. And what's the name of this tattoo shop? Unlikely I'll have cash to get something, but I'll take
a look at things and see.ShawnRefuse - 8-19-2009 at 02:14 PM
Gavin has a tat shop out there you say? September I may have to support a fellow thorp board and get some ink.

Oh, and it's not actually one layover. It's the layover and flight from Philly to Baltimore, layover and flight from Baltimore back to Philly, and
(second Philly) layover for Philly to London.
It seems crazy the way it's listed now, but I had to go to Baltimore to straighten out a bunch of shit to get my visa, and I didn't know how long that
would take... ended up being about five weeks. So each of the three flights was booked several weeks apart from the others.BDx13 - 8-19-2009 at 02:24 PM

this itinerary still don't make any fucking sense.
i literally don't understand what your schedule is.
during what windows of time will you actually be in philly?JawnDiablo - 8-19-2009 at 05:54 PM
that is the worst layover i have ever seen!
yeah like BD said, downtown is only a quick train ride away.
theres alot to see, eat, and drink in close proximity to the station at market east.
id love to ditch work andd come be a tourist...
and one of these days i'll get to Geoff's shop, and one of these days i will have money for a new nice tattoo...SS76 - 8-19-2009 at 07:28 PM
check out the Mutter Museum. I've never seen so many dead babies and skulls riddled with syphilitic caries. And the world's largest colon.gavin - 8-19-2009 at 08:47 PM
i just "work"....(if you can call it that) at a shop on south street
i babysit fools who come in asking ummm interesting questionsrandom - 8-19-2009 at 09:04 PM
here's the schedule. keep in mind i booked flights separately, which made sense at the time due to me not knowing how long i needed to be in b-more
or when i'd have my visa taken care of for switzerland. flight #2 was booked when i came back to the US, and flight #1 was booked as soon as i got my
visa.
flight #1 (booked as "ft lauderdale to baltimore", to catch flight #2)
ft lauderdale to philly - depart at 6am, arrive at 8:45am
philly to bwi - dep 9:30am, arr 10:30am
flight #2 (baltimore to london)
b-more to philly - dep 4:30pm, arr 5:30pm
philly to london - dep 6:30pm, arr 7am
flight #3 (london to zurich)
no layover - dep 12:30pm, arr 3:30pm random - 8-19-2009 at 09:07 PM
oh, and i'm looking to skip this unnecessary trip to baltimore now and just stay in philly. i didn't realize it when i was booking tickets because i
thought flight #1 had a layover in charlotte, not philly. i had the charlotte layover on the way down here to florida.bombidol - 8-19-2009 at 09:37 PM
I think I was in that tattoo shop on south street last year. gavin - 8-19-2009 at 11:13 PM
