Anyone considering going out of New York City should be aware of the

following:



There are numerous hotels near LaGuardia airport. Getting a car to take you

places is easy but expensive.



We paid $100 including tip for a round trip into the city. We felt it was

worth it since he threw in a tour on top

of that. A taxi would have been a lot more. The hotel we are staying in is

the Hampton Inn. They will get us up, dress us, Feed us, repack our

bags, and take us to the airport for the ship shuttle.
