We need to collect our tickets from the machine and would like to check out the lounge. I guess an hour beforehand should be fine. We do have quite a bit of luggage with all our baby stuff.
Good to hear the little guy is doing better. That must have been very scary.
Keep your expectations VERY low for the Acela lounge at NYP. It is not a place I would willingly arrive 45 minutes, or even 10 minutes, ahead of time to sit in. It's a cramped, windowless, loud room with bathrooms that could have been lifted straight out of your junior high school, brusque-to-surly attendants, and just packets of chips (crisps) and a soda dispenser for refreshments. There is a blaring TV set to CNN at all hours, which is hard to avoid being deafened by. At the time of day you'll be there, you should not have a problem with seating, but I have been there at times when pretty much every chair is taken.
