NY (mis)adventure

Certain things are there which can never be explained. We call it jinx in our everyday slang/twang what have you, and co-incidence is a very light way of putting it across, but if it happens for two years in a row it ceases to be a mere co-incidence. Especially the few factors that are common in the occurrence were there in both the years. Sample this - My problems with NYC and why I hate visiting it. First attempt at visiting NYC led to my friend messing up the route and we were lost for quite some time before finally making it to the NJ side of the Statue of Liberty Ferry and having a glimpse of it.
My second attempt at a tour of NYC ended with a horrible crash. Imagine that!What a great way to start the memorial day weekend.
My third attempt had a wiser me, I took the Metro North to NYC and then traveled by Subway. Had to pick up my friend at the JFK and bring her back. Imagine my ill-luck, Stuck inside a train in the subway between Lexington Avenue and Grand Central for nearly 2 hours. So the jury is real clear on this one, which ever mode of transport you take, its gonna end up in a minor-major disaster. So a more prudent decision is to stay clear of NYC unless there is a pressing need to visit the place.

Cut a year ahead. Its the memorial day weekend. The rental car was again from Enterprise and the destination was Niagara Falls in Upstate New York. Got pulled over for speeding. I mean why me, lots a other people were speeding as well.

All it means that if I spend another memorial day weekend in this country - I just hope I don't - am staying indoors. period
