Is that the one in Islandia? Ghetto.com

Depending on day / time, I'd budget about 30 min.

I would want to drive a stake through US' heart if that had happened to me.

Can I take the LIRR out there? Or if not to the hotel to ISP? I can catch the shuttle from ISP.

I think he wants public tranportation options, I guess teh LIRR to Jamaica station , I don't know where he could pick up teh LIRR , maybe North Babylon.

Would anyone that is potentially interested in Box Trivia be willing to waive their right to play in order to help write questions? I'm not as strong on some topics as some Boxers are, such as Family Guy, Seinfeld, et. al., and I'd like those to be represented. Anyone volunteering for this duty must be fully resistant to bribery. :)

Judging by name only (never heard of the place), it sounds quite reputable.

Not sure if this is still around or if I was grandfathered in, but I have a fee-free Amex Gold by way of having a Fidelity Brokerage account.

Yup I figure I can pick up the LIRR at the station near the airport. I just want to know how close it will get me to hotel or in the alternative ISP.

@colpuck - The train from Islip to Jamaica takes almost an hour depending on the train, you may have to transfer at Babylon

I'm actually probably going to go Schwab for a brokerage account to take advantage of their no ForEx fee CC for international travel and 2% cash back.

I'm willing to pay a few bucks to keep those points alive until I find the right opportunity to use them. I'm not worried about that at all. But I'm not going to pay 3-4x the going rate for no benefits.

I have a kitchen in my suite this week, made ribeyes two nights for supper for a total of $8 spend ^

I think the actual station for the airport is Ronkonkoma.
