[QUOTE=Risha] Atlantic City doesn’t connect to anything heading north? Oh, now, that’s just _wrong_. [/QUOTE] All those buses on the parkway, every day and every night. Bringing the elderly of NY to the old seaside resort that has now been Trumped. The trains in NJ are actually extremely poor. We have the population density to equal what Europe does, but we are overwhelmingly Highway oriented. It does verge on criminal. They have been talking about another route through Jamesburg down the western part of the county to Lakewood for decades, I doubt it will ever happen. The Shore line once had a branch that actually ran to Sandy Hook, but even the right of way is largely gone now. There is a biking and walking path for a nice portion of it. I am lucky I live as close to the train as I do. Too much of NJ does not have any options nearby. ---

How is she doing? As to what to bring, it could be as simple as a six pack of what you like to drink or a salad or desert type thing. ---

Don’t know when I’ll be back online so I’ll say this now. Have fun guys. Wish I was there. Raise a glass for me and think of me baking in the hot sun. Hopefully I can make it next year. ---

Okay, according to [www.njtransit.com](http://www.njtransit.com) the train comes into Middletown at 2:15. It looks like the trains come in once an hour, every hour, 15 minutes after the hour so the 2:15 looks like the best option. ---
