Kolek planning to go pro
Is that good or bad?I regularly fly from LGA and it's vastly improved getting in and out despite ongoing terminal construction.You may not have this issue, since you flew into LGA and your return flight may involve a car rental drop-off and not use of the parking garage.I parked in the parking garage on the same floor (5th?) as the new pedestrian entrance ramp. The ramp dumps you into the security line entrance, then using escalators you have go awkwardly around it and down another flight for check-in/luggage drop-off then back up a flight for security.Because the terminals are still under construction my gate happened to be in the mostly closed old section, so I had walk across an old and very long temporarily spruced up hallway that dumps you into an area with about 16 gates. You can see the original entrance ramp closed off.
Damn.....Malta looks spectacular. Who recommended that to me... was it you JWags?
Yep! One of the most unique places Ive ever been. Incredible history, a crazy blend of cultural influences, and some gorgeous scenery.
I did as well. My daughter was just there in June.
Ty as well. Did you combine it with a stay in Sicily or Naples/Positano/Capri? I was thinking 10 days in Malta.
10 days is an awfully long time there, IMO. But add a couple days on Gozo, and it could play. But if you're a diver, there is great diving there. We linked it with some time in Greece, which actually ended up being a bit of a travel nightmare, but Naples/Amalfi Coast would be a nice link with it.
Thinking of taking a family trip to Atlantis, have heard both good & bad. Anyone have hot takes on the resort? I did gamble there a few years ago while our cruise ship was docked in Nassau.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Main problem I have with LGA is how difficult it is to get to Manhattan. $50 for a cab ride into downtown through traffic sucks donkey balls. Which is why I usually fly into EWR for this reason and take the train into Penn Station.
If you don’t want to pay the $$$…Take the Q70 bus (free) non-stop to 74th/Roosevelt to the 7 or four other lines. Or take it to 61st to the LIRR. If you don’t want to wait for that one, you can do the same thing paying with a MetroCard taking the Q47.Or you could take the Q48 with a MetroCard to the tennis/baseball facilities at 111st/Roosevelt and take the 7. (or take the LIRR from the BJK Center)(There are a few more as well)
Yeah, I've considered that route as well. I prefer the EWR route because I don't really have to think, and it just works.
It's pretty easy. You literally walk outside at Laguardia, and one of those buses will be there to take to the train.
Yeah, but then I gotta ride a bus, and swap to a train.
Trying to plan my honeymoon to match our year anniversary. Thinking a treck along the Mediterranean from nice to Milan maybe a brief stop in Monaco just to say we did it. Anyone familiar with this area? Recommended villages/towns? Recommended Michelin restaurants to a local dive spot? Is it possible to include Barcelona or would I be stretching us too thin?
Barcelona is incredible, but 400+ miles the opposite direction. 7+ hours driving or multiple trains. If your final destination is Milan, thats just not convenient. If anything, Marseille isn't terribly far, maybe 90 min west of Nice, and its a very cool city on the water.I don't recall restaurants of note, but Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is incredible and worth spending some time in. I don't know a ton about the Italian Med coast there, but ive only heard raves about its beauty. Sanremo stands out from someone's stories from what I recall. You can't go wrong really.
