Sounds good. The Don is used to meeting me up that way on our way to Watkins Glen although we will be taking a different route once we hit Binghamton. We will be trying to find out whether there is a rest stop or similar area near Binghamton on 81. I am anticipating that he will be in your part of the caravan on the way up.
NSXPO Northeast Caravan - 9/23/09
- Thread starter RSO 34

Taking RSO's suggestion I can time my entry to route 80 with you guys passing by. If I call you and find out when you will be around exit 35 I can leave my house and merge right with the caravan. I will PM you my cell so we can coordinate the meet up without you guys even needing to stop.
We anticipate screaming past exit 35 at about 7:30. You gotta be able to catch us though. I'll cell you at about 7:20 to give you our exact location.

I hate to be the bad guy to say it, but .......... "7 am at the Marriott!"
Quick Jersey fuel-up at Marriott and on to exit 35 (Aaron) half hour in. We won't be stopping though. Aaron will be accelerating out of the pits, kind of F1 style, to catch us on the straightaway about 7:30. Then on to hookup with the 3-D group (theDon, DocJohn, DocBling) and others at or near the 80/33 junction by 8:10-8:15. We need to be in Binghamton at 10 am.
See you at 7. haha
Unless someone has another idea, it looks like this "Pilot Travel Center" in Binghamton off of I-81 would be a good place to meet up.
Pilot Travel Center - 2 Industrial Park Drive, Binghamton, NY, 13904

7am sounds good! Nothing better then skipping the NYC traffic early in the morning.
Not sure if anyone else from Long Island/NYC/Yonkers want to join the Rt 80 caravan or the Rt 17 caravan. Post up if you are.
Sounds good. If we manage to arrive before 10, I may wanna take one of those cool showers they have there, ya know, to kinda wake up a bit.
But no pics please. You don't wanna damage the camera that you will need in Toronto.
Simon Since you are near me I will meet up with you and we can live the bronx together just let me know what time you wanna leave..
You also have the option of heading over the tappan zee and meeting up with me and larry on Route 17 in Orange County.
Jermaine,
If you choose Rt80, we should just meet at the Marriott in Teaneck NJ instead of making more local stops.
Mariott directions:
Cross GW Br. following signs to I-95 (LOCAL ONLY). I-95 & I-80 run together for a short distance (mile or so) to EXIT 70 (Leonia/Teaneck).
Take this exit and it will lead straight into the Marriott Hotel meeting area and be on I-95 by 7:00 am.
Please note: Google maps does not tell you, but you must use the local I-95 lanes after crossing the bridge. The express lanes will take you past exit 70.
Here is the final route with times for next Wednesday's Trip to Buffalo.
Leave Teaneck, NJ Marriott @ 7:00
Pass exit 35 0n I-80 @ 7:30 (Aaron)
Pass DW Water Gap I-80 @ 8:10
Tannersville, PA on I-380 @ 8:25 (the Don's group)
Scranton, PA at 380/81 junction @ 9:00
Binghamton, NY @ 10:00
Optional quick stops if communication breakdowns:
(These stops are not necessary if we meet as planned on the road)
Tannersville,PA - I-380 exit 299, then right on 715, then left on Sullivan Trail route 4004, then right into parking area of Crossing Factory Stores. 5 minute stop maximum.
Scranton, PA - I-380 exit 188, then right on 347, then right on Monahan into parking for Sleep Inn Suites. 5 minute maximum.
If you separate or are late for any reason, just drive I-81 to Binghamton to meet @ 10 am sharp. See post 32.
We will be trying to make the minimum number of stops.
Have a Safe & Fun trip. :smile::smile:

I'm assuming people are planning to meet around 5:00 p.m. at Ray Laks, right? That's when I'm planning on getting there. I still have to leave pretty darn early; unlike everyone else posting here, I have a longer distance to drive and the time zone change works against me. See you then!
Meeting up with TheDon, Pookie and others in Easton PA
Tony how does your timing look since we are going to be in your home town?:smile:
See you all in the morning
