Where in Jersey? I can get to Cape May and areas close to that (maybe through Atlantic City). Anything further would be too far for me.

I would be interested, although Cape May vicinty would be too far. I am in Monmouth County and could do NYC vicinity, Newark, most of the middle third of the state (out to the Delaware River) and a ways south.

I just reserved my plane tickets for FL in January so my travel budget is spent for the next 6 months.
For future reference...and don't use my vote as criteria for location selection...If it were to be set up in the general NYC area, I could take the Amtrak down or drive. My 1 day driving range is about 5 hours due to tendinitis hand problems.
For overall cost purposes, just outside NYC in one of the suburbs or smaller towns with B&Bs with public transit access to NYC would be helpful.
I like Dawg's offer too.

North/central NJ, close to NYC is the consensus location.
I'd like to suggest two locations -
- New Brunswick since it is central in NJ, and easily accessible by train
- Summit. A little further north, but also accessible by train from NYC
Given the above location, the following expressed interest in attending.

The location would be too far for Harley. Target12019, I don't know if this would be convenient for you or not. Please let us know if you can make it.
For the list above, we need to decide where and when?
WHERE: New Brunswick or Summit
WHEN: I'm assuming a weekend day. How about 12/12 afternoon to avoid the crowds?
It may be easier to schedule this if we use email. If you agree, please PM me with your email address. PMs are limited to 5 addresses, so I can't use it to communicate with all of you in a single message.
