Great tips about shipping the equipment, we're not sure if we'll fly or drive yet, the weather might keep us from driving ( it's 6 to 7 hours from here )....especially in February. We could take the equipment with us though,and then cab it to the NYer from our hotel, apparently it's quite close. I checked the rates of the NYer and they started at more than $ 400 a night....way too expensive IMO the conveniency would be nice though
I bought the DVD's from the last NY Specialty and once I watched them I really wanted to go...even to just watch |
Not trying to deter you. But, let me share with you the Blizzard of 3 or 4 years ago. Friends of mine stayed in another hotel a couple of blocks away, they couldn't get to the shows......When it snows it somewhat hinders the transportation. Plus the parking lot fees, even at hotels, can add up more than the hotel bill. My girlfriend drove from Texas to NY one year; her parking fee was $1,400.l
No, the fees are not $400.00 during the specialty. You ask for the dog show price...$225.00. But, even at that you share rooms. We've done 6 to a room. We usually fly in on Wed, have time to do quick shopping at K-Mart for the necessities needed for our stay; you know bottled water; piddle pads, cokes, snakes.....Then we have Thursday for sightseeing and shopping on Canal Street. If we're showing at Westminster we don't leave until the following morning after Yorkies Show.
