***OFFICAL: I BOOKED MY TRIP THREAD***
- Thread starter jj-cyclones

A quick $2,000 for their trip I believe.
They have an option for a bus trip but not sure the cost on that one.
Thinking about making the drive out there. Never been to NY. would love to. Looks like 1066 miles from my front door to Yankee Stadium. Figure about 450 bucks for gas. Found a hotel in NJ, 8 miles away for just over 100 a night. Even my wife is getting excited thinking about going.
Just booked our trip out of Eastern Iowa. Flights were around $405/person for 29th - 1st. Staying Downtown at the Intercontinental Barclay that looks pretty sharp for a nice sum -- ugh. But spending New Year's Eve in NYC has always been on her bucket list so why not, right. It just gives me the chance to cheer on my Clones in the Big Apple!
See you all in NYC!!!
See you all in NYC!!!
I definitely missed on that one, those bastards!!! I still wonder if the fan pressure, or whatever, pushed them over the line. Looking back, their loss not ours.
If you are okay taking busses and trains, you can get around New York very cheaply. I fly into Newark, stay near Meadowlands, and take trains into Manhattan (and Bronx). The trains can be a little tricky but they are great at all times day and night.

Looks like we'll be at the Embassy Suites in Secaucus/Meadowlands. There's a New Jersey bus route that has a stop right across the street. For $3.95, they'll have you at the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan in 20 minutes (a block from Times Square!). Take the 4 train from the Port Authority ... $2.25 and 25 minutes later you're at Yankee Stadium. You seriously can't beat that.
I'm still wondering how I'll get from Newark Airport to the hotel, but it looks like the rest of the travel will be a breeze. Planning to fly out of O'Hare ... yeah, it's a drive from eastern Iowa, but you've got more choices in times and the fares are about half as much.
Fly in on the 29th from DSM fly out on the 31st....stay in a ramada in newark its $567 bucks flight+hotel for 1 person.

Friend of mine just reminded me that there are over a million people who work in legitimate jobs IN NYC proper that make less than $20,000 a year. That can't do that and eat $30 hamburgers. Young people need to have a little ingenuity and complain less. It is the Cyclones after ALL.......... Are you ALL IN!!!!
Just a tip for those on this board: jason33 got a room at the LaGuardia Hampton Inn (a Hilton property) for $143/nt, so I dropped out of the Marriott rooms I had on hold for $268/nt and jumped into the Hampton action as well. Don't plan to spend much time in a room/hotel & Hamptons are known to be clean & comfortable. If a $143/nt room helps some of you make the decision to go to the game, I wanted to let you know that there are those options available.
Ticketnmaster has a lawsuit going on against them foir collecting some unsavory fees.
You can take a train from Newark Airport, then call and have the hotel shuttle meet you at the Secaucus Junction. The only time this hasn't worked for me has been when I got in after Midnight and had to take a cab (still only $15 or less).
Thought this got posted, but not so:
jason33 from another Clone board has found a $143/night rate at the LaGuardia Hampton Inn so I backed out of my hold on a $268/nt room @ the LaGuardia Marriott (which I thought was going to be a great rate for NYC) and joined him. If this rate would help more of you decide to go to the game, I sure wanted to share his good find with you all. Hampton is owned by Hilton & the rooms are nearly always clean & comfortable. They also have a shuttle from/to LaGuardia, where you can catch the M60 bus to Manhattan & then take the subway from there to the game, SOHO, Little Italy, etc. for fun times. Little Italy is a "don't miss" experience!

I used to work that area and would hit up bars in that neighborhood. . . very spanish, people would buy me drinks all the time, spent next to nothing over there. . .
