March 2012 trip
Save

We are planning our annual trip to NYC for March of next year. With all of the problems the Occupy Wall Street people are causing, should we consider a new location for our trip. I have seen interviews about people being yelled at and having things thrown at them while they are trying to take their kids to school. I really don't want to spend our family trip that we have worked so hard to save for dealing with that stuff.

First of all, you need to keep in mind that NY is a big place. You could easily avoid that group if you wanted to without impacting your trip. Also, do you really think they're still going to be there in March. I would go ahead and not worry about it.

I was there late October and was in the are of the Occupy Wall St demonstration weveral times, and each time I felt very safe, it was all very unthreatening....the demonstrators engaged with you if you showed interest. It is all quite contained in the park.....unnecessary to change plans.

The day you refer to was last week when they had their "occupy the city" stunt. They tried to block access to the Stock exchange and apparently there is a school nearby. Granted it was incorrect and scary for the kids but I would not even think of changing my vacation.
