I know my answer.
That is 3 trains - 1 to Penn, 1 to the Airtrain, then the Airtrain.
And of course the same on the return. With a 3 hour drive, I at least have my car waiting to head home.
By the way, we are doing the LIRR train from Penn Station after staying in a hotel near the station on our upcoming trip.
