Hauling gear around a NANOG meeting

Thu May 22 21:41:43 UTC 2008

One more thing...
Rent-car may be not a good idea.
Sometimes it's hard to find the parking spot. ^.^
As Andrew said, it will be better to use public transportations such as
cab, bus, and sub-way.
It may take more time, but sometimes the driving style of New Yorker may
be a little bit offensive, and finding parking lot may be a challenge. :-)
If you are one of owls, there are plenty of places you can visit in
night/early morning when you are not in the mood for sleeping ^>^
