A quick tweak to yesterday's transportation note: Turns out the Hofstra buses will only take you from the Hempstead or Mineola Station to the University itself. Not the hotel. Those of you arriving Thursday during the day can still catch a university bus to the convention events on campus.
If you want to get to the hotel or the reception on Wednesday evening or Thursday, you'll still need to grab a cab or Lyft.
Those addresses again are:
Long Island Marriott
101 James Doolittle Blvd., Uniondale, NY 11553
The Cradle of Aviation Museum
Charles Lindbergh Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530
