Or you can book a van by yourself

Common and popular service providers are : go shuttle, super shuttle, can download their apps, Internet booking is hassle free, pay by credit card very safe

For four pax plus luggages the taxi is cheaper at $60-70.

For shared ride on van up to 11pax it is around $22/pax

Or use uber

Day trip to Philadelphia is too rush but not impossible. Have get the super early bus
Thanks for quick response 🙂

Only worry that the taxi can't fit our luggages if they are same size as SG taxi..
Intend to take the day trip like this and it will be early Dec..

Hi, i have about 5 days in NYC.. one day to Woodbury mall..

Do you think it's worth to do a day trip to Philadelphia / Amish Country (by coach)..
Anyone did that before?

Also, do you think the cab can fit 4 pax and prob 3 big luggages from airport?
Any recommendations for transport from airport / hotel @ Manhattan?

You can get discounted tickets at TKTS Times Square or South Street Seaport if you don’t mind queuing for a while.

Hi parents,


Anyone who here drove a rental car fr NY to Niagara Canada side before. My hubby is a Malaysian.. Any issues?

Thanks!

No prob driving US-registered vehicles across to Canada. My friend drove an NJ licence plate from US to Ontario. Check with rental coy nonetheless.

No issue with Malaysian ppt-holder. But need to pay for Canadian visa I think. Check Canadian embassy website.

CIQ might request u to step out if they want to ask some qns. I had 2 Indonesian Chinese friends who met me at Buffalo to visit some friends in Toronto together. I dunno if it's becos of them that I was asked to get off the car with them. Turned out it's cos I bought a lot of DFS foodstuffs so they wanted to check them!

As long as u don't look like refugees or ISIS and speak good English, u don't hv to worry at all.

Canadian visa needed

Wow! pirated and jetsetter!

Thank you very much for sharing the pictures! I feel a tad homesick just looking at them!
Hi harvardalum, NYC is a short flight away, 22 hours only from SG. Emirates and Air India offer very affordable ticket prices. Cheer up 🙂

[quote=\"jetsetter\"]
will see if I hv any room photos when I wake up tmr;) it's great! But ur current one is more ex I recall...

I'd like to try out the other 2 hotels u recommended.

Did U see Holiday Inn Express?

Yes the HI Express are all very small ppty, each floor a few rooms only. Clean sheet, small room, tiny shower. Good breakfast foc if you are not fussy, free coffee the whole day, very nice cinnamon roll

Thanks, pirated.

Didn't take many shots of the room cos I was out the whole day. See this (sorry very messy)

The usual minimalist Westin decor...clean and neat.

View's pretty decent but not on the side facing Broadway & Times Square.
