  • Sept 18th had it for the votes so we'll plan that weekend, and a few of us are game to make an overnight of it! I'll post another poll on that, NJ/NY girls can you do some looking into hotels for us? Maybe we can figure out the plans for what to do and then find a hotel somewhat nearby?

  • Well I will recommend NOT staying in NYC/Hoboken. Those rooms will be more expensive unless enough of you split the cost then its better. You might be a little better off there are 2 hotels right over the GWB on the Jersey side that are ok and you can take the bus into the city (one is a double tree the other is holiday inn I think) However there are some great NYC hotel deals. DH and I got a great deal at the Waldorf for like $150 one night!! So check the websites!
  • LOL! Yeah, NY is not known for it's frugality :-)

    That having been said, I will most likely grab a room in the city - I'll wait until the itinerary is finalized before making a final decision where, but I have a couple of places in mind. One not far from Central Park, if we do something in that area. But nothing in stone. To Mel's point, it would be advantageous to make the reservation sooner, rather than later, as availability may get limited. We're talking about a week after the 9/11 remembrances. There may be a lot of additional visitors to NYC around that time...

  • The main plan was for Sunday, and the overnight was just for anyone travelling from a distance (i.e. us, Stacy, Liz, Mel, Cindy ??) that we would have a "travel day" and a little more time. It was an option if we want to- I was going to make a post about who would want to do the overnight and bunk together.

  • Once we figure out what's going on I would love to bunk with someone on Saturday night. 

    Also, we some how need to figure out how we are traveling if we are meeting up on route. There's quite a few trains that come through Richmond, so I think it would make more sense for me to drive to Baltimore and get on with the ladies up there.

    I'm only about 45 minutes away from the city but we stay there when we need an overnight getwaway. There are some good options on hotels.com, between 150 and 200 a night and when you split it its obviously cheaper. If we need 5 or more rooms we might be able to get a deal from the group sales department if we go direct to the hotel.

  • Well the two hotels on the other side of the George Washington Bridge are in Fort Lee (not the nicest area since its pretty much at the base of the bridge) If a few of you are splitting a room I agree w/ Breanne you should be able to find a hotel.com deal in the city that is doable if you split it. There is a nice Sheraton in Chelsea that you might want to look into. The hotels in time square can be very crazed because that is such a touristy area.  Just a couple things to keep in mind.
  • I don't know details, unfortunately (maybe Laurie or Lori can aid me in this, as I am relatively new to the area), but Secaucus is a major hub on the NJ Transit line and I'm sure I've seen hotels nearby on the way to the Lincoln Tunnel, and would expect that the buses run right past.  It's the area (Meadowlands) not too far from Giants Stadium.  Lots of hotels for business conference attendees I think.  Again, sorry for the lack of specifics.  Hmmm... maybe the local NJ Bump board would have ideas.
