Re: 100th Anniversary Plans

["Howie Dash" <fd6bd32d1@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

One of the participants from region 3 that is a friend of a person from region 2 that was in my Iris society when I lived in the Hudson Valley recommended a hotel in the Meadowlands on Route 3 that would be convenient to both Presby and New York City.  I looked into the Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel, which is also run by Marriott, but it is just a little bit too small with 169 rooms and conference rooms that only hold 240.

The advantage of being at Newark Airport is it is easy to get a train to New York City.  I too ate either at the food truck by Terminal A or at the airport itself.  I just wish the Marriott shuttle would be available to take one off airport.

There are several hotels like Wyndham and other with free parking and many other ammonites and have airport shuttles that could be used. I also found going over and eatting at the airport was a very good option for many taste

Just a thought
