I arrived home from the US this morning after a fantastic trip to see some awesome folks. My journey took in New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington DC & Albany, and along the way I met up with as many fine furs as I could.
Many, many thanks to...

 AndyFox - for putting up with me for almost two weeks.

 Jbadger - I really appreciate that you found the time to meet up with us on two different days and showed us around Chinatown, particularly scoping out interesting places to eat. Hope to see you again soon.

 skippyfoxcub - I'm really, really glad you came, and the fact that you had a long drive to get there makes me appreciate it even more. Also, thanks for bringing  kittrel along, too. Always great to meet new people. Pity we never got to see that musical and I hope you weren't too disappointed. Maybe next time.

 baccala30 - thanks for meeting up in Philadelphia. We didn't get much time, but it doesn't matter. It was a good afternoon. Appreciate it.

 KJ_Roo - Another brief meeting, but thanks for sharing a lunch with us. Was great to meet you in person, given that I've seen you in suit so often.

 rapidtrabbit for showing us around Central Park and keeping Andy busy for a while on the Pier 62 carousel.

 scooterpiety for a great day in Albany.

However, extreme thanks must be given to  scooter_squirrel &  White-paw for putting up with us for three days straight. Scooter - thank you so much for letting us stay at your place, for driving us around ( especially all the way to Philadelphia ), for cooking dinner, for bringing us to see  midori8 &  denimwizard and for letting me try on the Scooter fursuit. You're the best.
And White Paw - great to finally get some serious hang out time and a chance to play around in suit. Our meetings back at AC '11 were all too brief.
Hope to see you both again soon.

So, all in all, a trip made great by the people listed above.
Thanks everyone - I really appreciated it!
