So, I've been seriously considering heading to Comic Con in New York this time around, and I've been studying the logistics, and think I finally have the trip planned out.

Step 1) I have to wake up at around 3:00 a.m. on February 7 and hit the road from my home in Harwich, MA to Braintree, MA, where I will park my car for $7 at Braintree Station.
Step 2) I take the "T" (Boston's subway system is called the "T" for those who aren't in the know (and yes I realize that I could've saved time by just typing Boston subway) from Braintree Station on the red line at 5:15 a.m. for $2.00. I'll arrive at South Station in Boston at around 5:45.
Step 3) There's a bus leaving South station at 6:30 a.m. for New York's Penn Station for $10.25, it'll arrive in New York at around 10:45.
Step 4) Supposedly the Javits Center is a few blocks away from Penn Station. It'll cost me $45 to get in (more than the total cost of my traveling.) I'll have to try and remember how long it takes me to walk over there.
Step 5) The bus back to Boston from New York leaves at 6:30 p.m. I think this gives me plenty of time to see what I need to see at the con. For some reason the bus only costs $6.25 this time. I should arrive back at South Station at 11:00 p.m.
Step 6) Hop the "T" back to Braintree, hopefully I can catch the train at 11:08, but if I can't they run till 12:38 a.m. so it shouldn't be an issue (unless for some reason I arrive in South Station after then, which would be a horror show.) It'll cost another $2.
Step 7) I should get back to Braintree Station at 11:33 p.m., if everything goes perfectly. From there I'll hop in my car and head home, I'll probably get in at about 1:00 a.m. on February 8.

The cost of travel and parking will come to $33 when you factor in about a quarter of a tank of gas. Comic Con costs $45 to get in (cause I wont buy my ticket in advance, just in case.) Coming to $78 total. I'm sure I'll want to have some cash when I get there, but I also want to travel light, so I wont be making any insane purchases when I get there.

I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with Comic Con, and how much they spent there. Also I was wondering if anyone else is jumping through hoops to get there.
