Yeah, the trip into Manhattan actually went better than I was expecting. The location of the appointment (west shore of lower Manhattan) was a huge factor in deciding that we could do this. There are short-term parking opportunities there that just don’t exist in midtown. I was also prepared to just drive around a short circuit if I had to. Had the appointment been in the crazy(er) part of the city, we would have fallen back to other plans which included bus, rail, cab, and Uber options.
Another thing that made this doable for us is being able to expense the insane tolls, and just take the most efficient route. It cost us $42 just to cross the GW bridge getting out to Long Island! :E I’d do it again if I’d have to, mainly because I want the boss to continue enjoying her career, but I hope the need doesn’t arise anytime soon. Business travel is really the only thing that’s not real fun for her, so I do what I can to make it better. Having our own bed, bathroom, transportation, and her cats is a big plus for her. Oh, and I’m in there somewhere as well. :w
