Plans are afoot!
During a lull in today's activities (my truck is getting a scheduled maintenance, we got my new watch resized, Barnum got an oil change, and right now Kiri is having her hair redone) I'm starting to do some research on flights for Anticipation.
The current plan is to fly into New York City (possibly getting together with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fimbrethil et al for a quick visit), take the train up to Albany, where we would meet up with jarlsberg71 and drive the rest of the way. The con itself is August 6th - 10th, so I want to leave on the 3rd (morning flight) with the plan being to overnight in Albany, then not have to race up to The Great White North. Coming back would be a reverse of the previous trip. Car, train, the fly out of NYC on the 13th.
Alternately, I've found that we can fly to Montreal's Trudeau International Airport with a layover in Detroit for about the same price as going through NYC. The layover going back is 3.5 hours.
On the gripping hand, we could fly into Albany, meet up with John and then do the drive.
No matter what option we choose, airfare alone is going to be about a grand.
I'm doing this all through Orbitz. Anyone have a site they prefer?

If you fly into JFK, there's AirTrain from the terminal to the subway, and about an hour on the subway (no need to change trains except AT-to-Subway) to Penn Station; if LGA, it's bus-to-subway-to-Penn, and depending on which bus and which subway you end up with, you might have to change subway trains to get to Penn - but the total trip time will probably be slightly less from LGA.
EWR, there's AirTrain to Newark Penn Station, and you can get NJT trains there direct to Manhattan Penn Station.
