we will be coming to an east coast regional for the 1st time and then head on to NYC for some play time...........
Can't wait to see you all there. We plan on sending as much leis to everyone as possible.....:D

That will be soooo cool. No, literally: Cold. NJ in March is a little bit colder than, say, Hawaii. Although you'll be indoors much of the time, prepare for weather that can be from a high of 45 F to a low of 20 F - during the day. It gets colder at night.

I truly hope we have a few inches of snow for all y'all.

I second that. 1 South will become your worst nightmare during rush hour, I live on the North/South Brunswick Border just North of the area, and even just getting past the Quakerbridge area can be a nightmare. Plan extra time if you're traveling along there.

Depending on where you stay, you can probably plan a route avoiding Rt. 1, at least for the most part. Talk to whomever you decide to use for ground transportation, they probably know alternate routes, or can plan them.

202/206 take you straight to SBA, as does the Turnpike/195...there are several ways to get there...you could even take the train to the Trenton station and walk a couple blocks to the arena...although weather might make that hike a little less than desirable.

Re: 2007 New Jersey Regional
 
Firstly, the train station is about a mile away. But I do not reccomend walking through that part of town unless you're with a big group. Obviously, this doesn't work if you have to lug tool chests, kits of spare parts, etc.

Secondly, George is right, you can certainly take a variety of roads to get to the SBA, but I reccomend 1/129. Even with traffic, that doesn't get terribly congested. That's the way I went to SBA last year, and while about 50 cars sat at the traffic light on the other side of the street, I got in without a wait. Anyone with driving questions or hotel questions absoultely should NOT hesitate to PM me. I will be happy to help anyone I can.

Team 293 will be there, who knows what SPIKE will hold this year. Although it will be hard to top our Batman wings from last year:D

I can't make it cause I will be in college, but I will be at the Chesapeake Regional as a mentor I hope.
