I arrived on 98 about 40 minutes early into NYP, and was able to get the agent to put me on an earlier Acela, 2158 to Boston. I just spent the night in Boston and decided to fly back to Laguardia. After a few minutes in the lounge, I got on a very over crowded M60 bus and then the 5 line to my hotel in lower Manhattan.

I came back to New York from Boston on Acela 2163, checked into my hotel, and then went to Penn Station to kick off this Fest.

I was on Amtrak train 654 to New York and almost caught up to the NJT train from Plainfield, but slowed and arrived about ten minutes later.

The ticket app for njt worked flawlessly. I held the phone up to a scanner on the gate to let Mike through then myself. We caught a 9 pm train to nyp that arrived on track A. It was a new bilevel. We found seats in the quiet car at the head end.
At nyp we came up a nonfunctional escalator that placed us on the njt concourse. I promptly exited the wrong way out of the njt concourse turning right rather than left. We went up to the street level before I realized what happened. We went back to lirr and bought our tickets for Saturday and replenished our metro cards before catching the 1 to rector street.
At rector we made the short walk to our hotel and were safely checked into the hotel by 10:20.

My arrival for Fest was a two trip effort that actually happened on Thursday.
Since I was staying at my friends place in Greenpoint for 5 days (my work week) I had to bring my work uniforms and bedding
I drove to NYC with trunk full of stuff, dropped it off at his place, then drove back to Metropark, where I parked my car for a week.
On my second trip of the day caught Amtrak 196 to NYC and then E and G and then walked few blocks to his place.
This is train 3267, 5:43 Long Branch express with connection to Bay Head. South Amboy is next. First and last cars are Quiet Cars. All tickets please.
