Moving Day ~ April 21, 2009

Today was a very hectic day. We received the call at 11am that we needed to make our way to New York City. Within the next couple hours we had to get Roy (our pup) situated at his temporary home, pack and load up the car and get on the road.

We found out just how expensive New York City is when we hit our first tolls. Lincoln Tunnel $8, Queens Midtown Tunnel $5.......John and Jamie....broke! We made very good time or so we were told by family on Long Island since they know the real New York traffic.

While Jamie sat guard over the car on a very busy NY street, John lugged the 4 suitcases and many other necessities up to our room at the Hope Lodge. We drove out to Long Island to leave the car at Aunt Betty's since $45 a day to park in the city is NOT in our budget. Aunt Betty took good care of us with dinner and a nice visit. She drove us to the Long Island Railroad station where we picked up the train to head back into the city. After an unexpected train switch in Jamaica......Queens....not the tropical one.....we made it to Penn Station and our "home" for the next couple months.

    Dear J and J, Meri said you were blogging. I said "in public"? After she explained what blogging is I agree that it sounds like a great idea. So here goes...I'm blogging. Hi Joe et al, Love you guys. I am looking forward to hearing all about your latest adventures in NY city or as we locals call it the big dirty. Aunt Betty
