Ground Transportation
At each airport website, there will be a link to ground transportation. There are a variety of options such as Hertz, Enterprise, and Budget. This is the best and easiest way to book a rental car. We definitely recommend this option as there is only one taxi service in Woodstock, NY. If you don't have a full car or a need a ride, please make a comment on this post. We know that some people would love to share the rental car cost.
If you would like to use the taxi service, please contact Mark at (845)679-7766. The only downside to this is that you must make reservation two weeks in advance to use this service. He only operates within the Hudson Valley area.
If you are planning on coming from the city without a rental car, there is a bus that drops you off right in town. You can view the bus schedule at: http://www.trailwaysny.com/html/english/fares_pdf/woodsnyc.pdf

Airport Options
There are two airports conveniently located less than one hour from Treasure Farm.
Stewart International Airport (SWF)
Albany International Airport (ALB)
Both airports have a good selection of airlines and rental car companies. During our last trip to the farm we flew into Stewart because we were able to find a good deal on a non-stop flight from Ft. Lauderdale. With the help of a trusty rented GPS system (highly recommended), we were at the farm in less than an hour without any problems. During our next trip we will try to fly into Albany, so we can give everyone a comparison of the two options.
For those of you who are planing to visit the city, there are three airport options.
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
Kennedy Airport (JFK)
Its a 2.5-3 hour drive from the city to the farm. We will update the website soon with information regarding ground transportation.

Tying up loose ends!
The roots of a Sequoia at Yosemite National Park (us with Jessi and Tim)!
For those of you that don't know, we are back in the United States! Actually, Boca Raton, Florida. So, here is a short version of what we are doing now. Jay has the exciting position as a partner in the family business, Performance Depot. Kacee is the Family Services Specialist at the Covenant House of Florida, which is a homeless shelter for at risk youth. Our lives have been taken over by the real world! Help! Who wants responsibilities! We often dream about our next world adventure. Which in this case, will be our luscious, tropical, and romantic honeymoon. Well, Kacee hopes so! Yes, yes, we are planning a wedding! We have the exciting news of announcing that our big day will take place in Bearsville, New York at Treasure Farm on October 18, 2008. Soon we will be mailing out Save the Dates with all pertinent information. Constantly check out the blog as we will be creating a wedding website.
