In the first week of July my employer is holding their annual company
meeting in Yardley, PA. I will be there for three days.
This is the longest I have been away since I have had my two cats. I
have someone looking in to on them every day, and such. But still I am a
bit concerned about how they will do while I am gone. I think they will
be ok after all it is only three days. But still purrs are requested.

On a side note for those who might know the area. I was wondering if
there is any place nearby that is worth visiting for lunch/dinner etc?
Any recommendations would be appreciated. For those who don't know -
which is probably most of you - Yardley is located 8.4 miles NW of
Trenton, NJ and 31 miles NE of Philadelphia, PA.

They should be fine - although they may decide to snub you for a while,
after you return! (Either that, or be super affectionate and refuse to
let you out of their sight - it very much depends upon the individual cat.)

SInce I have two cats I think it will probably be both of those
reactions. I don't know for sure which cat will react which way if any.
I supposed I'll find out when I return from the trip.

I'm sure the cats will be fine; make sure there's plenty of food and water
avaiable. It's good someone will come and check on them.

Looks like you'll be dining in Trenton or Morristown most of the time unless
you just want pizza ;) This is some of what I found on Google:

or BBQ (although as an honorary Memphian of 33 years I cannot say I'd
recommend a "Memphis" BBQ joint in Pennsylvania - and I'm fairly qualified
since my family came from PA and I promise my dad and his mother did NOT
make BBQ). Those restaurants are a bit too far from Yardley for just eating
some BBQ, IMO, but here's the link anyway:

maybe so. I will probably be eating local to my hotel or room service
most of the time as I will not have full time access to a vehicle.
