Where I stayed
Country Inn and Suites, Newark Airport
(Newark hotels)

Flag of United States  , New Jersey,
Friday, June 27, 2008

Well finally arrived at the hotel at Newark Airport.  Made a wrong turn coming off US 1 & 9 and ended up in a bad neighborhood.  Well I most neighborhoods in that part of Jersey are bad.  Of course, that's the area of Jersey that everyone not from the state associates with it.  Anyway, kept my wits and realized that I was going the wrong way.

Finally arrived about 9:00pm tired, exhausted, and with my hands burning.  During my softball game I tripped over the third baseman's foot.  So needless to say, I just wanted a shower and to go to sleep. 

The beds were nice and comfortable.  Slept pretty well once I fell asleep. The alarm going off at 5:00am was way too early though.

One other thing to note.  The hotel has the option to park and fly, which is why we stayed there.  However, they did not have enough parking spots and many cars, including ours, had to be doubled parked.  We had to leave the car key with the hotel.  I really did not like doing that.

The hotel did a good job at getting a second shuttle since at 5:30 there was 20+ people waiting for the shuttle and the van only held 11 people.  The second shuttle arrived before the first was even completely loaded.  Good Job.
