transportation from lga to stony brook? (vent)

I got a call last night from a college friend saying that she will come to my eng. party next weekend but her boyfriend won't be able to come. The RSVP date was April 10, she didnt' call. I emailed/called a few times afterwards and finally she calls back last week to say that she's coming. THen last night I have a message saying she's flying in from DC to LaGuardia - she'll be there at 10pm. It is an hour and a half away from where I am in Suffolk. I'll have lots of guests- we have plans to go to dinner and then a bar/lounge Friday night (party is sat night). I feel bad saying I can't get her. My parents and others cannot either- they'll have guests themselves plus my mom doesn't drive at night and my dad gets tired driving that late. I don't want to impose on a friend here bc it is kind of selfish of me. I'm sure they want to hang out instead of drive to the airport. So what can I do? I dont think she'll want to spend the $$ on renting a car. ugh. And I suppose that I have to drive her back to the airport on Sunday?? I'm annoyed- this is how it was like in college. I haven't talked to her/seen her in a while so of course it has to be all complicated to see her!

Can she take a cab to the LIRR and maybe someone can pick her up at the train station??

Ask her to use a livery service. My company uses two different ones: TransStar and Quality Service. If you want the numbers, I can get them for you. I know the cost from LGA to where I used to live in Middle Island was $80, with tip included. That is the corporate rate, I don't know the regular rate. But I guess round trip, if it's $160, she might be better off buying a car. At any rate, tell her you are sorry you cannot pick her up but you've already got plans that you cannot break that Friday night. Had you known sooner that she would need a ride, you would have been able to make accommodations.
