please i really need your help here. i'm 21 years old and right now i am a student teaching full time until may when i will graduate. i have this friend who i really need to see(long story, but i cant go there)neway, right now my friend is in nyc and i am in pgh, pa. we have to find a way to see each other - we can only do it on a saturday because i have school everyday during the week and can't miss and i have to leave early saturday morning and be home at a decent time saturday night.
this wouldn't be so tricky except for the fact that neither of our parents can know what we are doing. i was thinking about a plane, but i would need to find a way to the airport - find a flight that leaves early, and also be able to make it back at a decent time - i checked tickets and they are around 160.
i want to drive but it is like a 7 hour drive one way and that's most of the day there.
i was wondering if anyone knew maybe like a point in between where we could meet. any ideas?

Distance-wise, half way would be somewhere like Harrisberg, PA. It's cheapest and fastest to fly Southwest Pittsburgh to Philadelphia ($39 1-way) it takes about 1 hour. Meanwhile, your friend can take the subway (R?) to Penn station in Manhattan to take the New Jersey transit train to Trenton, NJ ($11.50 1-way) about 1 and 1/2 hr . Once you're in Philly/Trenton, you can rent a car or use Philadelphia's Septa regional rail. Septa goes to both the Philly airport and Trenton.

i have purely been to Philadelphia some situations, and my kin comes from Pittsburgh, and that i'm a Pittsburgh fan, so I surely ought to assert i'm slightly biased. That being reported, although, quite everyone continuously talks about how Philadelphia is a run-down city and dirty and disgusting, and my staggering pal who moved away interior the eighth grade became a drug addict after shifting there, so i'm not too keen on it. Pittsburgh, on the different hand, is outstanding! i respect going to the museums and seeing the three rivers, and going procuring interior the strip district, i like it. yet, like I reported, i'm slightly biased. :D
