It's in the back of my mind, but much depends on where I ultimately stay Saturday night and where I ultimately park my car. Working out the logistics without having to travel with my suitcase all day on Metro North is not simple. Most likely I won't be staying in Manhattan as I did last year, unless something very cheap (and hopefully bedbug free) comes along.We usually split up and go our separate ways after the last activity on the last day of the Fest, so even though the itinerary takes us back to New York, the Fest is over at Stamford (the last time through) and we're on our own from there.I think this is the right place to ask... Is anyone considering taking Amtrak 163 on Sunday?

Considering getting some AGR points at the Woodbridge Hilton?I'm still considering this, now that I know I'm not staying in Manhattan but rather in NJ.

Well in reality, I did consider the Woodbridge Hilton; the rates are fairly affordable. However, the logistics in going back and forth from there, plus the longer trip, and the facts #150 doesn't stop there and one has to arise super early to catch NJT, and I decided instead on two nights at the Newark Hilton next to Penn Station.Considering getting some AGR points at the Woodbridge Hilton?

Sunday afternoon I can do the split of 163 STM-NWK, 159 NWK-MET, giving me 2 Amtrak segments for the price of one, and one hour to collect my luggage from the hotel.
Saturday I won't be in NY Penn Station to meet before the Fest train (#160). I'll be aboard the Fest train in NJ, as some of you will be as well. I purchased a ticket MET-NHV, but I'll just show up in Newark. It would have cost me more to change it.
You.... you... you mean they make them even bigger than we've seen?Hopefully we will find Piotr on some of those too, with his brand spanking new, even larger headphones, collecting cheap 100 AGR point.
