From Short Hills NJ to Pan Americam Hotel in Elmhurst?

Monday, Oct 9, my wife and and I have to go from the Hilton in Short Hills to the Pan American for two nights before flying off to Bermuda for a 30th anniversary trip. We%26#39;ve never been to New York so it%26#39;s all a little confusing. We%26#39;ll have no car at that point in the trip. I hear getting a train into NY is the best way from New Jersey. What would be the best way to get to the Pan American and would it best to go there, drop luggage, and then back track to Manhattan or store luggage someplace else and go to the hotel later? Any idea of how long we would be looking at to get to the Pan American?

Thanks in advance for the info. Reading this forum has given us a lot of ideas on what to do. I just have to try and figure out what time we%26#39;ll have to do it in.

Take the New Jersey Transit train to Penn Station. From there take a taxi to the hotel. The taxi will cost about $20 not including a $4.50 toll if a toll facility is used and a tip.

You can do it using the subway ($2 a person) but that is not a good idea when you have luggage - there are stairs to climb entering and exiting the subway and there is a bit of a walk from the train station to the hotel.

It will be a real pain to have to take the luggage to your hotel and then have to go back to Manhattan. There really isn%26#39;t any luggage storage in Manhattan.

1) If your budget isn%26#39;t limited, you might want to check the price of a car service to take you from one hotel to the other. Drop the bags and then go into Manhattan by bus or subway from the Pan American.

or some service the Hilton might recommend. (Compare prices)

2)Your Short Hills hotel website says the hotel is 13 miles from Newark airport and has a shuttle to Newark airport. Depending on price for that shuttle, you could go to Newark airport and then take a shuttle bus from EWR to La Guardia airport. The Pan American has a free shuttle from LGA. The EWR to LGA shuttle is $28/person or $56. ETS Air Shuttle

3) Get to Manhattan (I think by bus with possibly one change) and you could try offering a doorman or bellman at one of the hotels some money to hold your bags. I%26#39;d pick an upscale hotel. (If you come into Port Authority bus terminal, the Westin Hotel is almost across the street.

I can%26#39;t tell you the length of the trip.

I think you%26#39;re thinking of the shuttle bus www.goairporter.com but that only goes from EWR to JFK.
