NYC --> Oasis --> CFM --> NYC // Round Trip

Dear all,
I am considering renting a car for complete continuity between NYC to Oasis to CFM Shrewsbury and back to NYC. I will have 3 spaces in the car for $200 each, which would include all gas and tolls. As much as I love the transportation entrepreneurship of train to taxi to shuttle to train connectionā€¦ Iā€™d rather just have one ride all the way through. And I also guarantee wonderful conversation and/or complete silence and, of course, mindful driving. Please reply here if youā€™re interested in joining!

Hi Christine ā€“ Jackie = jacqueline.clark@umassmed.edu who emailed us our acceptances.

Brittany. I land at laguardia at 830 am. My flight out of Logan is at 230 on Tuesday.

Hi all. Iā€™m flying out of Logan at 230 pm. Iā€™m thinking Iā€™ll need to head out about noon from umass. Anyone want to split a ride. Uber/taxi/shuttle. Thanks.

Is it strange to consider sharing a single room with someone in Mass at the Residence Inn? The money is adding up pretty quickly for me. I am totally willing to sleep on the floor to share the cost. I have already booked my room. I did forget to book July 22nd, Friday night. Ill crash on a floor or have someone on my floor, or half and half. Even just for the first night I forgot to book. Thoughts?

@Aussie75 Iā€™m flying out of Logan at 3:50pm, Iā€™d be happy to split a ride with you and anyone else we can fit in to defray costs.

Brittany, if a share doesnā€™t turn up, there is a sofabed in my room that you are welcome to use on Friday night!
Have a good week all ā€“ Iā€™ll be offline till May 14.

Thank you!!! Ill take it if someone doesnt want to split the whole week!

Aaron that sounds like a deal.

Hi Brittany! I was making myself the same question :DDD I will be willing to share my room. I have booked a bedroom with king size at 145$ since the special rate at 130 was already full. We can talk to the hotel and see if we can change it to a double room maybe. My name is Dubraska and I am flying from Spain

Hello every one! IĀ“m trying to catch up to the conversation. I will be flying from Spain, probably arrive the week before to NYC. I think IĀ“ll take a ride with the Amtrak train leaving to Rhinebeck.

Please, count with me to share the ride from Omega o Mass. If itĀ“s not already full.

I think IĀ“ll be coming back to Spain from Boston.

On another topicā€¦ I donĀ“t remember if I read somewhere some recommended literature to read before the Practicumā€¦ Does anybody know? I would like to read it in English, so IĀ“d have to purchase on advance to have it on time. Thx :)

I believe the book will be ā€œFull Catastrophe Livingā€ by Jon Kabat-Zinn.

Thank you Karen!

Hey Bjorn, I am interested in taking part in your rental car. Has anyone else joined you yet? Just wondering, what airport are you flying in to, or are you from New York? I havenā€™t booked a flight yet and was wondering which airport would be the best to make this work.

Hej!
Iā€™ll also be attending the 9 day Practicum and would like to share a ride up to Shrewbury.
It looks like there is alot of us, do we arrange this ourselves, or through Omega?
Thanks!

Hi Stephen,
You are the first to respond! We still have 6 weeks or so, Iā€™m sure others
will join. Where are you traveling from? I live in Jersey City, just
outside of NYC. All three airports have transportation into Manhattan. LGA
is probably the closest, but EWR and JFK also work. I suspect because of
timing, you might need to stay in NY the night before and after the ride to
Omega and after CFM in Mass.

Hey Bjorn,

Iā€™m flying in from Winnipeg, MB, Canada! I can book my flight to Laguardia if that makes our rendez-vous easier. Where were you thinking of meeting up? I will definitely be flying in the day before. There are flights I can book on the last day that would be leaving around 6:30pm, is that too much of a time crunch, or were you planning on heading back to New York right after the course is done at 12:30pm that day?

Also, to anyone out there, Iā€™m looking to share a hotel room in MA. I missed out on getting a room at the group rate (unless more become available) and would like to split a room with someone to keep the costs down.
