Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... Well, I'm still up, and I'm about to head to the airport. For some reason, I'm actually looking forward to riding the A Train out to Queens to catch the AirTrain to JFK. Yes, the trip will take about and hour and a half, but it's something I've never done before, so I'm looking at it as adventure. I was toying with the idea of heading to Penn Station and then taking the LIRR to Jamaica and then taking the AirTrain from there, but, all in all, that might save me 15 minutes of transit time. And by staying on the A Train all the way out to Howard Beach, I only have one transfer to worry about.
Sounds like a plan to me.
