However, thanks to cheap American airlines and our proximity to Maine, I took another gamble.
As it stands, dad and I plan to drive to Bangor early on Oct. 19 and fly to Philadelphia that day. We'll spend 2 or 3 nights there and then take a 90 minute train ride from Philly to New York City on Friday or Saturday. After the game on Saturday, we'll then fly from New York back to Bangor on Sunday Oct. 23 and drive to Saint John to catch game 4 on TV at my house. (with Freddie. But he'll be pissed that he didn't get to come on the trip!) Below shows a map of our route.
Phew. BUT, if my Philles and the Yankees do both make it to the big series I'll have saved some $ by booking in advance and overall will just look pretty smart. I already have the tickets and hotels booked too.
On the other hand, if the Brewers or Red Sox or Tigers or (yikes) Arizona makes it to the World Series, well, then I've got some major re-planning to do. We'll make it work somehow... :)
