Home for the rest of the year
Dec. 28th, 2014 12:42 pmOur travels were fun. We enjoyed our time with friends and family.
Our journey back was uneventful which is always good. Getting to the point to get the journey started was a little more exciting.
Apparently we had been running around on a bad tire. There was a slash on the tire that went to where you could see the steel belt of the tire.
So that was the adventure of trying to replace the car when there are no cars to be had. It was longer than it needed to be and ended with the excitement that I left the EZ pass in the rental that they changed the tire on and rented it out again. Why they couldn’t have just changed the tire and given us back the car is beyond my understanding.
Those of you who live in EZ pass land know how hard it is to get around without one. Here’s where our AAA auto membership came in handy. I was able to replace the sensor at an AAA office in Pennsylvania. So we had an EZ pass when we needed it to get home.
Getting onto the island was another adventure. All the approaches were just horrid. Lincoln tunnel one hour and don’t ask about the Holland. GW Bridge 45 min and the highway beyond was a parking lot. We ended up going up and over the Tappen Zee to the Whitestone to the Cross I to the Grand Central to the Northern State to the LIE. And if you understand that, you live in the area or have lived in the area.
I am grateful to be home in one piece.
