Yeah, that's because as convenient as those subways are, the trains can run really slow...my "N" train is bad, it's always off schedule, constant delays, especially during rush hour.
My coworker lives in Westchester and gets to work before me.

I think it will be a good break for me to not use the subway anymore. I calculated, I spend about 10 hours a week/40 hours a months/480 hours a year on the train - for the past 10 years, not counting a year I took off work when my son was born.

Wow, that's a long commute from Bensonhurst, I thought it would be much quicker. I had a friend in West Babylon who used to spend almost that much commuting to downtown.

Wherever is cheapest. All the hotels in Weston are fairly new and in good neighborhoods.

Towneplace Suites for its proximity to the Weston Town Center. It's within 2 minute walk. It had and probably still has free wifi.

It's the type of hot that you can't breath and when you step out of the house you sweat but everything is air conditioned and there are plenty of indoor activities.

Our summer is like your winter. We stay indoors.
I always say that it's like the heat sits on your shoulders, just HEAVY. As long as you have a pool, or access to a pool, life is much easier down here. No taking a dip in the canals or lakes though....
