It looks like I will be staying in NJ, unless one of the Hiltons or Marriotts writes in to rescue me. C'mon, Paris - I know you're a listener...let's see some loving, girl. C - if you're there on Saturday, you have to come to the meet up I talk about on show number 71! Thanks all.

Although, in RUsh hour, it take an extra 15 minutes to travel the few miles between Parsippany and Fairfield. It would be easy to find a hotel near a station along the main train between Trenton and NYC and then you could ride NJ Transit int NYC (Penn Station). It is not far from Madison Square Gardens to the Javits Center. Plus round trip to the city is $25.00 and parking is extremely cheap if you are not at Trenton. Of course, I am thinking that you would be driving from DC to NYC like me. Most people take the shuttle flights. I hope all works out for your trip to Photo Expo Plus. I might take the train from Philly and visit the event on Saturday. Scott,

Another thought for you may be hotel properties near the airports (LGA and JFK). I just ran a search for Marriott properties near JFK and found availability and rates of $319 / night at the Courtyard (still "Yikes" territory but not $500!!!) for the dates of the show. Maybe that's doable? Good luck! Love the show. Hope your son continues to do well.

Changing plans like that stinks. For NY the best workaround is to think NJ. It's not that far away and there usually is shuttle service fairly cheaply (sometimes gratis), so check on the NJ side. I did a quick check on travelocity for hotels and they are under a hundred a night ($79 for the cheapies). Have fun at the PhotoPlus Expo...will be interested in hearing your report afterwards. Keep up the great work! Jason South Carolina Scott,
