the Hudson Valley |

|
| Summary |
Getting to the
Hudson Valley has never been easier, even if
you don't have a car! You can get here by train,
bus, plane and even by ferries on the river
itself!
Which mode of transportation
you take depends on where you want to get to.
Here are the "general rules" you should
consider:
- Flying into the
Valley is simple. Albany International Airport
services the northern sections of the Valley,
Stewart International Airport services the
Middle Valley and Westchester County Airport
services Westchester County. Alternatively,
you can fly into JFK or LaGuardia in New York
City or Newark in New Jersey and easily make
your connections into the Valley.
- If you are making
a trip into Westchester, Putnam or sections
of Dutchess Counties, Metro-North commuter
railroad provides extensive service.
- New Jersey Transit
can get you into Orange County, including
Harriman State Park.
- If your destination
is the Catskills, then take Adirondack Trailways
out of the Port Authority in New York City.
- Want a simple
day trip? Check out the NY Waterway schedule
of ferry trips up to many of the attractions
in Westchester.
- Looking for inland
day trips and packaged overnight stays? Shortline-CoachUSA
has an extensive selection to choose from.
- Amtrak provides
quick service between New York City and several
of the larger destination cities that line
the east bank of the Hudson, including Poughkeepsie
and Hudson.
- Hikers and bikers
should investigate Metro-North as they have
a special program allowing you to bring your
bike onto the train, with advance permission.
All through the Historic Rivertowns of Westchester
and Hudson Highlands regions just about any
stop will bring you to within minutes of great
hiking.
- One of the best
hiking destinations is Harriman State Park,
accessible via New Jersey Transit trains;
Sloatsburg, Tuxedo & Harriman Stations.
- A great day trip
destination at any time of year is Bear Mountain
State Park via Shortline. Endless hiking,
ice skating, amusements and picnicking opportunities
abound.
Getting to the information
on how and where can be a little difficult.
So we've tried to collect as much of the important
data as we could for you here. Just click on

hot to get into this most marvelous of places,

Adirondak
New
York, NY to Montreal, Quebec |
|
The
Adirondack travels from New York
City through the lush wine country
of the Hudson Valley and brings
you to Montreal in time for dinner.
For 50 miles or so, the train
hugs the scenic western shoreline
of Lake Champlain, a year-round
fishing and boating paradise,
and a particularly dramatic sight
during fall foliage season.
Hit
the slopes with our seasonal Thruway
motorcoach connections to Lake
Placid. At the end of the line
is Montreal — a distinctive,
Parisian-style city that's yours
to explore.

Service New

From
the man-made canyons of mid-town
Manhattan to the spectacular majesty
of Niagara Falls, Amtrak's Empire
Service is the comfortable way to
discover the Empire State. With

to get out in the country, head
north to the Hudson River Valley
for a vacation in the wine country.
Take the Empire Service to the
Finger Lakes region or continue
all the way to Buffalo and Niagara
Falls. Or go all the way to another

Westchester County
Airport was originally built as a defense satellite
base for New York City. Shortly following WWII,
the Airport became home for an Air National
Guard Unit and in 1947, airlines began the first
scheduled commercial service from White Plains.
Today, the Airport
has earned its reputation among General Aviation
Airports and is noted as having one of the largest
based corporate fleet in the United States.
The 700 acre facility has two intersecting runways,
the longest 6,550 ft. The Airport serves several
commercial service operators and over 400 based
aircraft, including helicopters.
Passengers from
New York and Connecticut frequent the Airport
for its non-stop commercial services to 10 major
cities. Recently, Westchester County Airport
enplaned and deplaned over 1 million passengers
annually.
Parking
Fees:
$2.40 per half hour
$18.60 daily maximum for a 24 hour period
Westchester County

Arrival
& Departure Status

| Albany
International Airport |
New York State's
Capital Region Gateway
As the major air
center for the Capital Region, Northeastern
New York and Western New England, the Albany
International Airport offers a wide-range of
facilities and services. A recently completed
multi-million dollar capital redevelopment project
included a new 230,000 square foot terminal,
parking garage, Air Traffic Control Tower, and
cargo facility. The airport has also embarked
on a five-year $232 million Capital Plan to
improve and maintain safety and to meet the
needs of air travelers and air carriers well
into the 21st Century.
The new 230,000
square foot Albany International Airport Terminal
opened on June 1, 1998, four months ahead of
schedule. The Grand Opening brought between
75,000 and 100,000 visitors to the airport for
the three-day gala celebration that included
a black-tie formal held throughout the Terminal.
Arriving and departing
passengers can exit their vehicles curb-side
at the terminal under the protection of a glass
canopy. Those choosing to park their vehicles
can select from a parking garage that connects
directly to the second floor of the terminal,
or from various ground lots.
The terminal was
designed to reflect the Capital Region's rich
Dutch and Shaker heritage. Varying shades of
brick reminiscent of designs used by early Dutch
settlers were used to cover the 500 foot long
inside and outside walls of the terminal. Large,
round windows and sky lights provide a bright
environment. Our Shaker heritage is most evident
in the liberal use of fine grain woods that
provide warmth to the two-story tall ticketing
area. Sugar maple, the New York State tree was
employed with the use of accents in American
cherry. The Shaker wood motif expands to include
display areas that showcase the region's culture,
economy and environment. Opposite the displays,
a glass wall allows floor-to-ceiling views of
aircraft.
The new terminal
with three concourses is designed to accommodate
three-million passengers a year. Ticket counters
are conveniently located next to an escalator
and elevator to provide quick access to boarding
gates located on the second level. Three security
checkpoints offer immediate screening of passengers
and guests. The terminal's Baggage Claim area
also exhibits the intricate brick designs with
sugar maple and cherry accents. Three, high-speed
baggage belts provide passengers with easy and
convenient access to incoming luggage. Rental
car offices are located within the baggage claim
area. Airport Parking Shuttles, Taxi, hotel
shuttle and limousine services are available
within steps of baggage claim.
A curved observation
deck located on the terminal's third level offers
passengers and visiting an exciting view of
the airport's runways, taxi ways and FAA Control
Tower. Loudspeakers allow visitors to the observation
deck to listen in on conversations between the
aircraft flight crews and air traffic controllers.
The airport is easily
accessible from major roads and Interstates
87, 88 and 90. Albany International Airport
offers a wide variety of convenient and economical
parking locations. Each parking location is
easily accessible to the Airport terminal.
The short-term lot
allows those arriving for flights, dropping
off or greeting passengers to park FREE for
the first 30 minutes. Emergency phones are located
throughout the garage and an attendant is on
duty 24 hours a day in the Toll Plaza to help
or summon assistance should you have a parking
or vehicle-related problem.
Our long-term and
short-term surface parking lots offer convenience
and pricing alternatives that will fit the needs
of all travelers. A covered walkway from the
ground lots to the terminal provides protection
from the elements.
A new, five-story,
2400 car parking garage provides covered long
and short-term parking and a heated pedestrian
bridge takes travelers directly to the security
checkpoint in the terminal. Escalators and elevators
lead to ticketing and baggage claim.
DISABLED:
Customers with disabilities can take advantage
of the lowest Airport daily parking rate in
the short-term lot with the appropriate permit
displayed. Official disabled license plates
or a permit must be prominently displayed.
A new toll plaza
and exit ramps provide easy access to airport
exit roads and a quick return to the terminal
pick-up zone.
SHUTTLE SERVICE:
Airport Shuttle Buses provide FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE
to and from Economy Surface Lots directly to
the front of the Terminal.

Adirondack Trailways
is a family-owned business and has been operating
motorcoach service since 1926. Our success over
the years is attributed to "hiring the
best qualified people", says Adirondack
president Eugene J. Berardi, Jr. The Company's
first route was from New York City to Kingston
and then expanded up Route 28 to the hamlets
of Pine Hill and Fleischmanns.
Upon the opening
of the New York State Thruway in 1957 the route
expansion began. Expansion continued in the
late 1980's to include points on Long Island
and the northern towns in the Adirondack Mountains
of New York State.
Today, Adirondack
Trailways operates througout New York State
and into Canada, including Toronto and Montreal.
Our committment to good service at a fair price
will continue to be the driving force of the
continued success of Adirondack Trailways.
