i'm going to try and take public transit for the first time into nyc to meet a friend tomorrow. without the parents' knowledge. am TERRIFIED that i will: a) get into a car accident b) not be able to find parking c) not be able to buy a ticket d) miss my first train e) miss my connection into nyc f) miss my first train back g) miss my connection back and that's not mentioning getting caught by the parents or being in nyc. wish me luck :'( i have such a bad feeling about this
If it makes you feel any better, I took a 12 hour greyhound last week to go visit my boyfriend In Victoria BC, supposedly with my friend (who actually was stuck at home because she got caught drinking) Took public transit through Vancouver (yeah, I know, way smaller than van ) all without my parents knowledge. Best advice I can give you is just research your trip really well, leave LOTS of time between connections, ect. just in case for screwups, and plan out some good lies, just in case. But hey, your a smart cookie, you can do it
I loved reading about stories on other peoples experiences! It sometimes makes you laugh and even sometimes inspire you~! Thanks for sharing!
Okay, so tuesday was teh ONE DAY that the parents took both cars ): Am trying again tomorrow. 10ish train, should get into the city 11:30ish, still nervous! but I'm going to go drive to the train station in a little bit to scope out parking/tickets/etc. Wish me luck!
Good luck!! I am also always nervous about train timess etc. but it will work out just fine! I promise
