@rocklobster We are about 50 miles north of NYC so we don't have public transportation to the airport. We usually fly out of Newark and drive 1 hr 15 min and use park and fly. Continental airfares out of Newark were out of site so we have to book thru JFK using air caribbean. Longer travel time and much earlier flight. That's why I think we need a hotel. Otherwise would have to leave the house at 2am.
