In April of 2014 before our latest trip we hosted Heather and her friend Rachel who were bicycling from Key West to Virginia. We met her in Brooklyn for a few drinks.

We ubered back to Penn Station from Brooklyn to Manhattan to catch a train back to our host's house in Middletown, N.J. The driver selected a tunnel route but it closed due to an accident before we entered. What a mess it was turning around and finding a bridge that wasn't packed. Glad I wasn't driving.
