Ny Trip - I finally arrive
I finally arrived in NY city around 2 o’clock in the afternoon after my 6 hour delay getting out of Jacksonville. Getting a cab at the airport was surprisingly easy and rather uneventful. I was hoping I was going to get to yell, “TAXI!”, but that didn’t get to happen since the moment I walked out of the airport a guy walked up to me and asked if I needed a taxi. I reluctantly replied, “sure”. I have to say that the taxi ride was a lot of run. I’m used to some aggressive driving in South Africa, but I’ve never seen anything like this. Every car is weaving in and out of traffic and somehow manage to never each other. They somehow know where the holes in traffic are going to open up and my just go for it. It’s was crazy… but a lot of fun as well.
