Red Hook !!

Since it will be a Saturday morning I may try that. How do you get from
the Holland Tunnel to the Battery Tunnel?

I'm not fond of driving through Manhattan. From Jersey City we'll take
the Bayonne Bridge to the Verrazano to the pier. should take about an
hour.

Are you familiar with the Staten Island Expressway, it is pretty
congested most of the time. From Jersey City I would take the Holland
Tunnel and then the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel which takes you almost to
the pier. Of course I was driving in Manhattan as soon as I got my
drivers license.lol

I think you will be glad, the SI Expressway will be a zoo. I think you
would take West Street and head downtown, but I am not sure. I could
drive from one to the other without a problem, but I can't give you
directions.lol

45 day's and
counting Sue !! Going to book the Elation for Easter week it's only 5
day's .But it go's to Grand turk and Half Moon cay and Nassau and a
day at sea .We are going to stay at the Hard Rock at universal for 4
day's before the cruise . Half Moon Cay is HAL's out island that
Carnival is useing it now too . I think it's the best out island .Our
boy's love Carnival. Then looking to book either the Dawn Princess to
Alaska 10 day's out of San fan or the Exp.of the seas doing almost the
same cruise we are doing this year on the Crown Princess also 9 day's .

Sounds like you have alot of fun plans! After the Crown we are doing
the MGC2007, Volendam and the MOAGC3 on the Freedom. I think we are
going to Half Moon Cay on the Volendam, but I am not positive.

best . When are you doing the Freedom ? I wish we were doing Priness
Cay in place of San juan . Been to San Juan alot .

We were at Disney's private island and it was very nice. I like that
they dock instead of tendering, also liked the separate adult beach
and buffet area. Also the tram they had that went between the
different areas. It was cool and windy when we were there, so I don't
know how the water was.

We are doing the Freedom Oct. 14, 2007 on the MOAGC3. I guess that
date wouldn't work for you with your boys?

I know Southwest flys to the other airport - but not if you are using
a frequent flyer ticket - which I am - so I have to take the more
inconvenient route :-) And yes I'd consider taking another airline
but if I go on Southwest I have a companion pass for my wife to fly
free - so no matter how much the taxi cost is, it's a heck of a lot
cheaper than airfare.

All that being said - and I appreciate everyone's comments - if we fly
in on Friday (to Islip) - where would be a good convenient area/place
to stay that would be close to Red Hook???
