No shorts. Prefer no jeans.

And 'old school' Saratoga called for gentlemen to wear their jackets while in the boxes.. and leave them on no matter how hot it got..

Looks like I am going to be moving soon.. could make the trip difficult.

I will have to wait until the last minute to decide to make the trip. Is there a place to stay west of Saratoga/ Albany that you would recomend.
anywhere I should avoid on the 16 hour DRIVE over.

Where you coming from and how far west of Albany would you want to stay?

I drive 45 mins from the Spa (Fonda), I'm sure you could a nice motel in the Johnstown/Gloversville area, 40 mins from the Spa.

I don't know of any spots that are bad to be on I-90, the drive through PA and western NY is wicked boring though.

Like HHH said the Johnstown/Gloversville area is about 40 minutes west. Utica is a little over an hour west, Syracuse about two hours west, and Rochester a little over three.
