I would skip all of those bus tours and do a free tour by foot!! They are excellent and FREE. You just tip your tour guide what you feel they earned.

The train from Secaucus to Penn station was 8$ round trip per person. You could then take a taxi to the port. HOWEVER, it will be much more convenient to park at the port.

The only thing I preplan is excursions and specialty restaurants. Other than that, I want to wait and see what is going on and pick from there.

Nothing is hidden and it's very easy to keep your bill low. With prepaying for specialty restaurants, excursions, and tips we have walked away with bills of no more than $300.

I doubt you'll find anything cheaper than $15 a day...unless you find a hotel with free parking. That's only 105 a day...not bad for safe and easy parking.

If we get there plenty early, I don't think we'll miss the train. If there's no shuttle we'll drive and park at the station.

Is there anything to do nearby Penn Station if we did take the 7:29?...
