After a lot of back and forth and I mean a lot, I have finally reached a decision.
Although it was suggested to me by a couple of people whose opinions that I trust that I not go to NYC in August because the weather is less than ideal, I have ultimately gone back to where I started and decided to go to NYC in late August.
While coming to the decision was difficult, the reason is simple. I am a Tennis fan and I want to give myself the choice of going to the US Open. By going in September, I would remove that choice from the list. I can't say for sure that I will go to the Open, only that I want that option. I might end up just wanting to explore whatever burough I end up in (as that is still up in the air) but I would like to spend, at least, one day at the Open. Especially in the early rounds with so many matches going on.
I am approaching this trip to NYC as my first, only, and last and if I don't make the US Open as an option to experience than I'll always have that regret. So I hope that there won't be any torrential summer rainstorms while I'm there but if there are...so be it.
Now comes booking the train ticket and a hotel room. I'm still debating on using a travel agency but the agency that I'm considering hiring works specifically with disabled/wheelchair bound travelers so after I have touched base with them, I will decide. When looking into hotel rooms myself, it got overwhelming...booking a weekend trip to Las Vegas was a hell of a lot easier.
Then again, NYC isn't Las Vegas.
