I've often thought that the Jersey side would make a much better 
venue than NYC (aka Manhattan).  Newark Airport would be easier to 
navigate than LaGuardia or JFK.  Does anyone know what taxis cost 
from the airport to NYC, not to mention the cost of lodging in NYC? 
Forget about parking!

Seriously, folks, it's NOT cheap.  

Judy, if you're really still interested in generating interest in hosting a 
HAPS conference in NYC, get some price quotes before getting the 
rest of the HAPSters all riled up.  As I've mentioned to you at 
previous conferences, cost is going to be a major concern.   If I'm 
wrong on this, I'll volunteer to assist you.
