What is the best way to get to NYC from Ithaca, NY? -

Where should I catch a MetroNorth? Thanks for your help.

Metro-North only goes as fare as Poughkeepsie, NY. It does not go to Ithaca. The only way to get there from NYC will be by bus from either the Port Authority Bus Terminal.Good luck

best way to reach is by air so take a flight from your nearest airportfor metro north schedules check out http://www.mta.info/mnr/

LOL! Metro North does not go to Ithaca! You have a choice:Fly from La GuardiaBus from the Port AuthorityDrive.

Take the bus................. it is a rather short trip and takes you right into Manhattan.

Wonders if trading (2) Disney 1-Day Hopper Tickets for (3) Universal Studio Tickets is a good idea? -

Well, that s illegal, so I would have to say it s a bad idea! All tickets are non-transferrable, meaning you can t transfer them to someone else, even in a trade deal. But beyond that, Islands is a much smaller park than pretty much anything at Disney. I can almost always get done with everything in Islands by lunch time. There s nowhere at Disney I can do that, with the exception of Animal Kingdom if we don t spend much time on the animals. So I would have to say that Disney s are a better deal!

in my opinion no.universal orlando is ok but disney world is much better. and how are you going to trade anyways?**edit**like i said what do you mean TRADE. you do realize that disney world tickets are non transferable meaning you can t give them away or sell them. i always advise people NOT to buy disney world tickets from any old person off the street cuz its against the terms and conditions on the disney ticket to do so. so some how i doubt you ll be getting many offers to trade .

Yes. If you are adults... If your not than it s a bad idea.

Who else wants this stupid storm to blow out to sea before it hits New England? -

I do! Need to leave the house tomorrow morning at 6:45. I feel a lot of moisture in the air though so I m not counting on it :(

i really just want it to melt Report Abuse

I did but it already started a little heavy. I hope it clears off fast. I m also hoping for some rain so it d not too icy on the road.

I m kinda thinking it will be nice to have a white Christmas! :-)
