Rideshare/Roomshare: 9 Day Practicum in MBSR - Omega/Shrewsbury - July 17- 26, 2016 Public Forum

Anyone flying into Laguardia? I arrive at 740am on the 17th. I’d love to meet up and travel to Omega together or ride share if someone already has plans. Also ride share or join others taking public transit to Mass from Omega.

Hi Brittany, I was thinking about laguardia as well. Looks like the tickets for me to Albany and steward are about three times the price and I’d have to arrive the day before. I don’t know anything about new yours but I think someone mentioned a train from penn station.
I’ll look into it. Andy

Looks like I would land at 830 am

Amtrak has a 1020 am train on the 17th from penn station that arrives in rhinecliff ( which looks like part of rhinebeck) at noon got 28 dollars. Probably could take an uber for less than ten bucks from there.

Hello! So I have found a shuttle company that will take 10 of us and our luggage directly from Omega to the hotel in Shrewsbury on July 22. It’s $600, so it would be $60 per person if we can get 10 people. The company said that they can likely do an additional shuttle if there’s more interest.
So let’s call this Shuttle A. I’m going to take seat 1 of 10 and I will pay the company and people can pay me back – who else is interested?

Andrew: Ok great. I can wait til 830 when you come in, we can exchange contact to meet up and make the journey together. I have a transportation cheat sheet from Omega. If you call there they will email it to you.

Gretchen, I’ll take a seat if we can get 10 people, please.

Ill take seat 3 if its a go. Shuttle from Omega to Mass. Please and thank you for organizing this.

Great, so I have Kara and Brittany as 2 and 3 (as long as we can get 10.)
I’m tentatively setting aside seats for the others who have posted here so far – let me know whether you’re in or not:
Cheryl, Andrew C, Heidi, Andy H, and Tas.
If all of the above say yes, there are two more seats left for folks who have not yet posted here.
Thanks!

I’ll take a seat. Please and thank you. Andrew h

Seems like this difficult journey is becoming much simpler. Now, how does one get from Worcester to Logan??? This should be easy.

This charges flat rate, per vehicle not person. looks like you can get a quote online for up to 6 people. $125 from UMASS to Logan. Book online and pay driver cash when he picks up.

Hi Tas, Im flying from Adelaide on the 15th and ill be catching the 815 train to to Rhinecliff on the 17th which arrives at 10am… Gives a bit more time to get to Omega as they suggest we arrive no later than 1230.

HI Andrew!

Nice to hear from you :). Sounds like you have done more research than myself - I still have to work out where Rhinecliff is! So when do you arrive in the US? I’ll be seeing a travel agent today and see where I will be flying into ie JFK or LaGuardia…Tas

Sorry Andrew - meant to ask what US port you are arriving at

I am in, thanks for organizing this. Cheryl

Hi Tas, I am flying Virgin into LA then a Delta connection to JFK. Then I am flying Delta from Boston back to LA to get my return flight to Australia. I booked my own flights online with Virgin got Adelaide to LA return and then just booked one way flights via the Delta website. Rhinecliff is next to Rhinbeck the town closest to the Omega Institute. Seems that Rhinecliff is on the Hudson river whereas Rhinebeck is a few km inland, Hope that helps Andrew

Hello. My name is Annie and i will be wanting to ride share if possible. I was thinking of going to CO but it is all just feeling to rushed.
