And there are your downsides.  I travel infrequently so I'll take the 
couple to three hundred or so and my chances with me. =)  AIR train, I 
couldn't remember.. I thought it was a PATH.  Same bloody difference...

I typically take the bus service to E. Norwalk or bum a ride from 
someone who might already be downtown.  I have taken the commuter trains 
from there and switched off to get to one of the Metro North stations in 
CT but all the luggage was a PITA.
