I wish I could make it, but we'd need a sitter.

-
Not hearing from anyone, but decided that I am coming regardless.. If anyone in between me and there wants to connect, let me know.
-
That's awesome!

Slacker.
Pay for my flight and I will be over
More than happy to come, will be fun.
-
I'll be there, not that it matters much.
-
For anyone new/nervous/overwhelmed by NYC, let me know, and I'd be willing to meet up at your point of ingress to help with the transition.
-
I'm now in doubt about going. just got the new car insurance bill it more than doubled
Hard to justify spending $200 in travel and $200+ in lodging when compared to that.If anyone from the STL area or anything along the path in between ever pipes in about sharing the ride it would make it a lot simpler decision again.

I was mostly worried about paying for parking and such and was thinking to get a room in jersey and train in. That or a hotel that includes parking on the island, but meh I think that might be a bit higher.
-
@Katie might be able to give you some good advice here on this one.
-
@JaredBusch From what direction are you coming? Staying in NJ can be much cheaper. There's a few reasonably priced hotels in that part of town. Let me see what I can track down.
-
@Katie I would be coming in on I-78 A Kayak search turns up a few ~$110 places and I have not even looked hard yet.
Looking at the transit map, I was thinking any of the NJT lines into Penn Station would work.

That's some awesome prize!!!
-
Now I'm a really sad panda I won't be there
-
Well after telling my boss my plans, they have changed... I am not driving..
-
So now I need a place to stay. Any recommendations closer to the $100 price point? I'll be arriving ~8:30pm to LGA on Friday night and can take transit anywhere from there. Web search tells me to head to Jersey. and so did @Katie when I was planning to drive.
-
Might be worth staying in Queens so that you aren't transferring from there to Jersey and back again. That's a lot of transit. Queens should have some options. Sadly I don't know queens though.
-
Have fun with the meet up. I'd really like to come but it's just a bit too far for a leisurely weekend drive.
Just for lulz,
My closest city to NYC
City furthest from NYC
