Hi kids,
Looking forward to the meet! I booked a hotel in Stamford for my daughter and I on Saturday night, so she'll be with me on Sunday! Don't know if we'll see you at the WoD but will definitely make it to lunch. Can I assume lunch will be around 1pm?

Hey everyone! Can a meet newbie join?!
I'd love to come! It would be great to meet some intercot friends!
I'm not sure if it will just be me or be me and DH. He'll be returning from a trip the day before. I'll know for sure as we get closer.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

It looks like we're going to try to make this meet if nobody minds. DS has always wanted to go to NYC (those of you who met him at the NE meet noticed the Yankees hat ) It's about a 5 1/2 hour drive so we're going to try to find a hotel, anyone know what kind of luck we'l have at a reasonable price?

I looked in Manhattan for a reasonably priced hotel and only came up with prices in the $200+ range. That's not reasonable for me, so I went with a hotel in Stamford, CT for $75/night. It's a Hilton located very close to the train station -- the plan is to stay there Sat night and then take the 45 min train into the city for the day. The train is not that expensive and neither is the parking.
Looking forward to meeting you -- I was hoping to be at the NE meet but DH had a conference.

That's great info, thanks. Maybe we'll end up staying there too. I'm glad we'll actually get to meet this time.

I looked at the places in Stamford too - very nice looking places - but it's a longer drive than we wanted coming in from Western PA so we're at a Fairfield Inn in Parsnippany, NJ at a AAA rate of $72 per night. Awesome deal if anyone is looking for a place to the west of the city - there are some other very nice looking places in that area as well that are very reasonable. Supposedly we're about 30 min from the George Washington bridge. We plan to park at a NJ park 'n ride and use public transportation from there into NYC.

Kathy, you might do better staying someplace even a bit closer, like in Secaucus. There's several modes of transportation available from there, including trains to Penn Station (34th) and busses to the Port Authority (42nd).

We're coming in on I-80 and actually going to Yankee Stadium. Our hotel is supposed to be right off 80 in Parsnippany. I figured that we could drive in and park at the Fort Lee park 'n ride and take NJ transit into NYC across the GWB to the Port Authority station on 42nd then catch a subway to the Bronx. Maybe I'm wrong but it seemed like the most convenient place with the cheapest rates. Secaucus hotels looked much more expensive and it takes almost an hour longer to get there according to Mapquest. Of course, I don't know my way around the area at all so I'm just guessing based on research on the internet. We have to do cheap as we are headed to WDW just a few weeks later!!!

You'll do fine at this hotel. It's close to my Mom's house, I know where it is. You'll breeze on and off of 80. Its not a real congested area like Seacaucus. You'll be at the bridge in less than 1/2 an hour.

Thanks for the reassurance! I feel better now! I was worried I made a mistake because I've had more than one person tell me we should stay closer to the city but that's just so expensive!

I thought about it, I really did. I even checked airfare to LGA - I was going to call Ellen and reserve my room. Then I remembered that's the weekend we're leaving on a camping trip.
Maybe next year.

I'm sure one of these days at one of these meets. I like finding other Tracis, I think it's the most uncommon way to spell it.

There has been a push to have the meet Saturday afternoon, not Sunday. How do people feel about that?

We're good with either day because we're going to make a weekend out of it anyway. Just let us know and we'll be there!
