I presume you can get there from Saratoga.

From Saratoga you can take Amtrak to Penn Station, walk across the station to NJ Transit and pick up the train to Monmouth. The traffic can be unbearable at times so I'll be taking the train that day.

It's a beautiful place, and I have a good feeling they'll pull it off; as far as lodging goes, there isn't much in the immediate vicinity so I'd recommend staying in New Brunswick, about a 40 minute ride.

This may be the first time anybody has ever recommended staying in New Brunswick.

Why not Trenton? Ya know, what the world secretes Trenton eats.

If Trenton is that bad, how do you rate Hoboken? Nothing in the world could be as bad as Hoboken. They ought to just a big fence around it and turn it into a federal prison. Most of the people you'd want locked up live there already anyway.

You're right! Governor Corzine keeps an apartment there.

I dont know when you were last in Hoboken but it is a very nice town. Nice bars and restaurants and a lot of very nice ladies. Another real nice town is Bayonne. KP

LOL

P.S. For those that have never taken the train between Philadelphia and NYC, there's a HUUUUUUUGE sign in Trenton (a bona fide dump) that says "Trenton Makes the World Takes"

I always used to laugh when I read that on the way home from Philly.

NJ in general is pretty crappy. There's a reason it's America's armpit..

It has it's redeeming qualities... or at least that's what they told us at the State University of New Jersey.

I actually like most of New Jersey, outside of Newark, Camden, Trenton, Elizabeth, and the Rahway/Amboys/Linden corridor.
