Good luck!

Ya...taking the subway from the stop by JFK to Penn Station will take over an hour according to hopstop.com, plus the extra time on Air Train. LIRR should be shorter.
Hijack, we have to hike to Newark from the Bx to get a direct flight for our trip to St. Thomas next month. UGH.

Thanks for your suggestions! I think that I might take the LIRR to Penn and then the NJT into Newark. (Plus, maybe I can steal a bit of time and venture into the city... I LOVE NYC!)
In regards to the getting a direct flight, unfortunately in this case, my company has agreements/policies on what airlines they buy tickets from and also like to be cheap. (Not that I'm complaining... they did pay for my seat!)So, my choices were Delta, Jet Blue, Southwest, and American Airlines. None of which fly from Boston or Providence to Newark without flying way out of the way. It would have taken me 5 or 6 hours of travel to get there on what should be an hour flight. So, even with all the transfers and travel through NY on the way, it's still going to be much quicker than having a layover in Chicago with American, since they are the only one of the 4 that fly into Newark. <sigh> I love the airline industry.

Sidenote: My mother just booked a flight down to Florida for next month. Guess where she's stopping... oh, the irony!

Continental. We live in the Bronx tho so really going to JFK is no different than going to Newark. LGA would have been perfect!!
