We're working on that.

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

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.

JaredBusch

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.

Katie

@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.

JaredBusch

@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.
