Honestly I could
use another one. I went to New York a couple of weeks ago with my mom, who
can’t really walk. That was pretty difficult since New York relies on a subway
system more than anything. I did take my first New York taxi and the driver was
super nice. He chatted with my mom when were on our way to the tapping of ABC’s
the Chew. If you’ve never seen the Chew, see it! My mom’s a big fan of the show
and I’ve seen a couple of episodes and it’s pretty neat.
I didn’t get to
shop at all just around Time Square because she would get tired. We were always
back at the hotel by 5 because at her age (66), she’s having a hard time
walking. She always wanted to see the Empire State Building and that was why I
took her, it also gave my dad a break (joking). We were able to see the Stuate
of Liberty, Ellis Island, the 9/11 Memorial and Rockefeller Central. Her
favorite part of the trip was not only the Chew but also St. Patrick’s
Cathedral. Let’s not forget Macy’s! She (rather we) spent three hours looking
around.
The downside was
when we headed to the airport to find out our flight was cancelled. Supposedly
everyone was notified but me. They didn’t have another flight out till a day
later and my mom was ready to get back to my dad. My dad has diabetes’s and my
brother stayed with him as a precaution but he’s in good health… as expected. So
$1200 later I was on a United Flight that day headed back home in the snow. Odd
how one airliner fly’s during snow and the other doesn’t, we assumed it had to
do with the plane. Other than that step back it was an okay trip. I think next
time I’ll find a city where I have to drive when I travel with her. It’s pretty
funny…now.
Enjoy a few of my
