Review: Quality Suites NYC Gateway, North Beergen NJ
A good basic hotel for those not needing the upper-crust experience.
Days 1 & 2: Driving to Meet the Ship
Half way across the US to meet the Escape in New York City….glad we drove, as yesterday was quite the hassle for those flying, with heavy rainfall and flooding ini New York City. Some were delayed flying in today.
