@Ambarishrh For this small trip, train is the way that I would go, and then rent a car or Uber at your destination (Rochester). If you were doing a real road trip, or want to really get on the road, you can join me next year in August, 2018 (the whole month). I'm going to do about 8-9k miles or so.

We've decided to reach NY and take the train to Rochester. So i need to book amtrack, not sure if i can do it from here and how early do i need to book

Earlier the better, but you don't need loads of lead time. Amtrak has a nice app for your phone, too.

Don't ask questions. She is okay with that. Now she can change her mind!

I'm thinking through what my travel schedule would look like for this. The last day of the conference is the 28th. Does the conference last the entire day on the 28th? If so, then I'd plan my return trip to be on the 29th.

@EddieJennings Ok, I have failed my attention to details test today. Amazing the things you learn when you click "About."

Definitely don't leave that night. We conference all day and then social stuff all night.
