Yes, I would not recommend traveling through Manhattan again. I would recommend either the Verrazano or George Washington Bridge.<div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 2:56 PM,  <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:steckelj@jaredsroom.com" target="_blank">steckelj@jaredsroom.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Well, I have to work late again, so I won't see you all tonight, but...<br><br>Update on the bus rental: They seem kind of high.<br><br><u>e.g. Here are a couple of the estimates:</u><br>55ppl 10hrs $1,180+parking+tolls+$83PerAddl'Hr (includes 18% gratuity)<br>
 55ppl 14hrsMax $100/hr+parking+tolls<br>fuel is included in both<br><br>However, I just thought up a new idea yesterday... rent TWO buses for TWO 1-way trips.  This way we don't pay for the 6-8 hours we are not using it.  I don't think all the companies do it, but I'm looking into it.<br>
<br>The school bus had a 10hr limit due to union restrictions, though I don't think other places have that limit.  <b>Were we at the fair long enough (obviously not, but seriously...)?</b><br><br>We left the DaVinci center at 9am and were supposed to get back at 7pm, but <b>we got back at 9pm?  Did we leave the faire at 5pm?  Does anyone recall when we arrived at the faire?</b><br>
