We have assembled the following information for your convenience, however we do not endorse any of the companies linked to. Please book any flights and hotels through your preferred travel agent or discount travel service.

Important Please Note: Do not make travel plans until you have received a confirmation from us that a space has been reserved in the class. Classes are limited in size and space in them is by reservation only. If you show up without a reservation and the class is full, you will not be able to attend.

Local Travel

Long Island has minimal public transportation so you should expect to either rent a car, or take taxi cabs if you are staying on Long Island. Those who choose to stay in Manhattan may take the Long Island Railroad from Penn Station. We are located 1/4 mile from the East Williston station on the Oyster Bay Line.

Hotels

Being in a major metropolitan area, there are many hotels to choose from ranging from moderately expensive to outrageously expensive. We have had favorable feedback from visitors about the following:

Red Roof Inn - Westbury, N. Y. Just a few miles away from us. Conveniently located near great shopping and restaurants. Most of our visitors stay here.

Howard Johnsons - Westbury, N. Y. We have had some favorable comments about this hotel as well, however it is less conveniently located.

Manhattan

We are just a short hop from New York City so some visitors like to visit or stay in Manhattan while they are here. The possibilities for places to stay or visit there are endless, so we are just including this link to NYC tourism information for those who would like to explore this possibility further.
