With Philly fast approaching, I guess it's time to decide what I actually want to see and do.
Started out at the National Constitution Hall website. It appears to have all the bases covered.
So far, I'm leaning towards the Constitutional Guided Walking Tour. Seems to cover all the bases. Unfortunately, none of the evening tours fit in with the con schedule. There's also a 24 hour trolley pass available.
Our hotel actually has a pretty comprehensive Philly guide I just discovered while looking for airport to hotel info (There is a $20.00 flat rate on cabs to Center City Philadelphia.) They even have a beer guide [g] and there's a Chinatown in Philly. I didn't know what. I do know I want to have a meal at the City Tavern. Maybe an early Friday night dinner?
We arrive Thursday night, and leave Monday night, so I hope to squeeze as much as I can into the free time we have.

The Liberty Bell is outside in a park-like area.
Other than that, all I remember is a lot of eating and drinking and being very silly. And yep, we did go to The Cave. One of the girls worked there at the time, and we got special treatment.

You know, most of my con memories are pretty much silly and drinking too. The Reno Roadtrip was Tiki cups and the Sombrero of Power, as far as I can recall. Oh, and coffee Diablo and Jen sticking bottles of wine in her monster bag [g]
I've only been to the east coast once, and that was nine years ago in November and a a week in Cape Cod with a bunch of gals who were Methos and Forever Knight fans. So I'm really looking forward to this!
