Topic: "Our itinerary"
Hi Greg, I've started putting a few things into our itinerary. I'm still not sure which shows we're going to see, so that's not in there. And a few other things are missing. But can you take a look and tell me if it looks reasonable so far?

Overall it looks good.
But The Met is closed on Monday, so I shifted it over to Wednesday.
I also shifted things around a little bit to keep you from bouncing too much between neighborhoods: Monday and Wednesday are primarily "Midtown" days while Tuesday is primarily a "Downtown" day. And Monday was a bit crowded, so I shifted some activities to other days.

Ok, I've got the Christmas Spectacular and Avenue Q shows on for Monday and Wednesday evening. Do those still make sense as "Midtown" days?
- Mark, Friday Dec 11, 2:05 PM
Yes, that's perfect. Both shows are right in Midtown (the Christmas Spectacular is at Rockefeller Center and Avenue Q is at Times Square). They'll fit right in.
I shifted things around a bit more for Monday. If you visit the top of Rockefeller Center before the Christmas Spectacular show, you'll be right next to it. AND, you'll catch the observation deck right at dusk, the perfect time to see the skyline and it's most bright and colorful.

Excellent! Thanks.

Looks like the schedule is shaping up pretty well. How do you think it looks now? Anything else we should add or change?
- Mark, Saturday Dec 19, 1:10 PM
No, at this point I think we have a pretty complete schedule worked out for you. It's got everything you want to do and will give you a good, balanced, busy-but-not-exhausted schedule.
We'll of course fill in some details as your trip gets closer, but I think we have something pretty reliable at this point.
Just before your trip starts, I'll add specific directions between places on your itinerary. So keep an eye out for that.

Good to hear. I'm pretty comfortable with what we have now. This looks very workable. I'll look out for the directions. I feel like I have a pretty good grip on things right now.
- Mark, Sunday Dec 20, 10:29 AM
Okay, I've got the directions and other final details filled in. Your trip is drawing pretty close now, so let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see.
- Greg, Tuesday Dec 22, 3:25 PM
It all looks great! Can't think of anything else, but I'll let you know if I do.
