Hoping all is well with you. 

So, the Miami/NYC overlap…

I have no preference, but I feel pretty certain that NYC is going to be a heavier left logistically, with the host and advance. This is square peg into round hole stuff/super tight space/weird movements required to adjust furniture, etc. 

Patty Park is not available to help.

Clayton mentioned Rachel would be in Miami all week and could do walk-throughs/deal with logistics on the ground and I can help remotely, but she would not be there game day. 

I'm not sure who else is going there to help?  

Questions --

Do you agree I should do NYC? 

Do we think Clayton/Rachel etc. can handle. I know they could but the gameday piece worries me. 

Would it make a difference if I went to Miami for the first walk-through, because I'm certainly able to do that. 

Let me know your thoughts. 

Also, I want to spend a couple of days in Philly on the front end of NYC. 

Thank you!
