Could someone write me privately, so as not to take up list space, on
how to get to some of these places by public transportation? I will be
staying in Whitestone, I believe it is called. I had been planning
to take a cab to Margarets, but if I get there early enough on Friday,
I might want to go into the City. Reminder: I am physically
handicapped in that I cannot walk long distances.

Thanks,

Christine
