Well, Nick and I arrived in New York City and spent the afternoon struggling to pull my absurdly oversized luggage on and off buses, trains, taxis, planes and trains! No joke.
I’ve found New Yorkers to be incredibly helpful (when they speak English). Perhaps it helped that we stood out as foreigners in Queens.
We’re currently riding a bus bound for his aunt’s house in the Hamptons – I’m indebted to the individual who thought of wi-fi-ing the buses here. I’ve been able to surf while Nick naps. :)
I think I’ll rest up the remainder of the drive – we did start our morning at 4am and are going on a few short hours of sleep.
The adventure has just begun…

We miss you guys here already. Have a wonderful time while Nick is there, praying you get settled easily and homesickness is minimal. Love you world traveler!

Happy and safe travels. We miss you in Oreegone. Here I moved back home to be closer to family and you moved farther away.

“we” started at 4am? :-P It was a good nap for me, but I still can’t get over the fact that you were blogging while I was napping on a bus.
