Normally we have a cat sitter stay at our house (they are very pampered) but since we were only gone 26 hours, we had a neighbor check on them 3 times. I know.. pampered.

We leave our cats home alone when we go on weekend trips, or maybe up to 3 days.

If given the opportunity and NYC is the perfect place to take it to, because you just get off the train and you are right there in the middle of NYC. <br /><br />It is so awesome that you Dad works for Amtrak! please thank him in behalf of my family, we have ridden the train to and from Harrisburg many times, and we appreciate all the Amtrak Employees. <br /><br />We have ridden the Submway a few times, but we always end up going the wrong direction, and we get set back 10 blocks at a time. <br /><br />Is that the toe that hurt on Saturday? <br /><br />How great was it to run in Central Park?<br /><br />I love tiny NYC hotel rooms!

I can usually grasp public transportation pretty well although we don't really have it down here in Charleston. The public transit in Seattle was awesome! <br /><br />That is a teeny tiny hotel room! I'm glad you and Paul had fun seeing the podcast and meeting people and you had a great run.

But this was on the first floor so I felt perfectly fine. The only time I get anxiety is when I'm squished in with a lot of people like at a movie or something like that. I get kind of anxious.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-72101796873982404292016-11-02T08:33:28.674-04:002016-11-02T08:33:28.674-04:00Riding public transportation makes me so NERVOUS. ...Riding public transportation makes me so NERVOUS. South Florida is known for bad traffic and bad public transportation. If our public transportation was better maybe we would have less traffic... <br /><br />Because I never ride public transportation down here I get really nervous to do it in other cities. Especially because one of my first experiences with public transportation was taking the subway in Paris where I didn't speak the language and didn't know how to get around the city so there was significant guess work involved! <br /><br />I think the only time I've taken a train was the Eurostar from paris to london, and then the train from london to heathrow airport. Getting the train to heathrow was a disaster because we went the wrong way and were almost late for our flight home by the time we got on the right train. <br /><br />We took the T in Boston too which was too crowded for my liking, and I took the Subway in NYC last December one time. My mom didn't like it so we ended up Ubering or walking everywhere. <br /><br />I guess I like the idea of public transportation more than I actually like taking it!

I wasn't too worried about the subway system since I was used to Boston's, but I do plan like no other when going to other cities. I did that in DC this summer so I knew exactly what stations I needed, and which lines.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806404383790065626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-73253733481363390812016-11-02T08:24:42.080-04:002016-11-02T08:24:42.080-04:00Looks like such a fun trip!
