The day of my first game arrived with the temperature predicted to hit the high 90s. It did. Most of the day was taken up crossing the Hudson, though. Since I arrived late in the evening, I stayed one night in New Jersey last night before transferring to New York today. The trip always takes longer than you expect and this time it took over 4 hours door-to-door. However, the trip was easy enough.
My room is small, by normal hotel standards, but it is clean and tidy although the wireless LAN doesn't quite reach my room. After reading some of the reviews of the other hotel I booked in New York, I've decided to rebook my second stay in New York to be at the same hotel, with a request for a room one floor lower and at the other end of the building (I walked about the hotel testing the strength of the network) The breakfast is rather basic - not even cereal. I'll have to stock up on cereals as I go around the country so I've got enough to cover that stay.
The hotel runs a shuttle bus every hour to JFK Airport. I take that and go on the Airtrain to the subway station and then into Manhattan. I had trouble with it allowing me to buy multiple tickets on the same day, but it did let me buy a 10-trip ticket the next day (which halves the price of the trips), which will work about just about right - and it doesn't expire until December 2012.
