3 Cities Tour - NY, DC, Chicago by wanderlustian(f): 9:20am On Jul 17, 2017 |
I've been MIA for a while. Its not easy setting up a new business coupled with part time work and being a mom. The lil lady is a handful. She's going to be 2 soon. Time really does fly. So guess who caught Wanderlust? Lol! Yup, all these stories and pictures finally got to my husband and he's decided he is visiting the United States this summer, even though at first he wanted to go without me... Like really? Anyways, we are going together, yipeee! And I'm starting this thread to chronicle the trip. We leave next week.

samuelkingz: Same people will blame our leaders for doing same thing, we need to look in the mirror once in a while. Every day we see announcement on TV of people who need certain amounts to save their lives, people who will pray for your generation yet unborn if we lend a helping hand, but the rich will rather spend money growing other people's economies and taking pictures It's not bad to visit other countries when we have a bonafide reason to, but just for fun? OP enjoy your sight seeing, squander the money jare |
Re: 3 Cities Tour - NY, DC, Chicago by Mcowubaba: 7:12pm On Jul 17, 2017 |
Pidgin2: How will you compare Leaders spending money and a Common person spending money Leaders are accountable to their electorates Leaders are paid with Money generated from Tax payers and a Country's revenue Some Leaders embezzle Money meant for the masses, hence the condemnation and aggression towards them, anytime the masses see them enjoying. The Rich or Privileged has every right to spend their money in anyway the deem fit, whether it will develop other people's economy or not, it's not their prerogative. Fun is subjective, some people take their Fun/enjoyment very seriously, the work hard to be able to give themselves maximum enjoyment, your perception of Fun is not idealistic and wholistic, going on tour to some Countries for Fun maybe unreasonable to you, but it's not to Others. Charity is not mandatory, it depends on individual's conscience, religious beliefs and philosophy of life. 8 Likes |

Hello People, I'm broadcasting live from my rented apartment in New York. It was a very tiring journey. Sometimes I ask myself where I get this energy from. So, as a low budget traveler, as usual, we bought the cheapest tickets. Egyptair via Cairo, We had a 13 hour stopover in Cairo, but they checked us into a hotel where we passed the night, with free buffet dinner and breakfast. The flight was not bad. If you ask me, I will fly them again. Majorly because of the price. You get greater value for your money. The lil lady was a handful! Ever heard of the terrible twos?? OMG! I've never had it this difficult flying with her. She was just all over the place. Her dad was practically exasperated! Anyways, we landed in JFK at 3pm, there was a large crowd, but somehow we were able to get it all done in 8 mins or so... and for the first time in my travelling life, I got sent to Secondary Inspection!!! The officer asked me about the US born child, and I had my receipts, but he did not ask to see it. Next thing I saw was an officer come up to us and say "Come with me"... They said it was contents of my luggage was what sent me there, which is what they claimed, but I can bet my left slipper that it was the US born child... or my first time traveler companion. Unfortunately, I had planned to travel light till a friend's mum gave me a bag of foodstuff for her daughter the day we were travelling and I could not say no! A part of me began to panic... what if there is something else inside the bags!!! HAAAA, see my life! We sat in secondary inspection for about 20 mins while they took our passports away. I saw many people who were waiting there being taken to another I guess they went to verify our information. Then an officer came back and said he wanted to check our bags. I'm like, our bags are still at the carousel, and he was like he wanted to check our carry on luggage. Then asked what foodstuff we were bringing in... I told them what my friend's mother said she gave us, and he left, saying he was going to clear us. He came back with our passports and led us back out. Nevertheless, it was all done so professionally, no hostility, infact, they were rather nice to everyone they interviewed, unlike the stories I have heard about secondary inspection. So we picked our luggage and left. We forgot our jackets at secondary inspection... and decided to forgo them! Who would not 7 Likes |

Hubby wanted us to take a Taxi... who me Take a taxi? In New York? What happened to the subway? The last time I personally took a taxi from JFK was in 2013, and I paid almost $100 just to Bellerose, in Queens. After then, I said 'Never again". Anyone else, I will hop in, as long as you are paying... but hubby caught wanderlust, and if he wanted to explore, he has to go the whole 9 yards wanderlust style! So, we took the airtrain to Jamaica Station, and bought metro cards for $1, and topped up with $10 each. A ride from JFK terminating at Jamaica is $5, but within the airports, from terminal to terminal is free. Then we connected the MTA subway to Penn Station. From Penn Station, we took another train to the Ferry heading to Staten Island, where I had booked a really cheap accommodation option. If you had read any of my previous thread, you would know I'm a sucker for cheap accommodation cc @originalsly . Don't worry Bro, I researched Staten Island and saw that it was one of the safest places to be in New York. Hubby could not understand why of all the places in New York, I had to get a place across the water! Did I mention the ferry to Staten Island is free? So, In total, I guess we spent $16 to get to our destination. The other option would have been to take the NYC airporter to Penn Station, but it was $18 per adult! Hell No! We got into New York just in time to see the sun set upon Lady Liberty... It was just breath taking! 8 Likes |

Reading the comments and just had to LOL I console myself with this "I WAS BORN TO TRAVEL" By the way, who said I didn't have investments already? If I did not have such ties to my country, who knows, I may have absconded on one of my numerous trips to strange destinations. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't chase young boys, I get my 'high' from going on an adventure and no one said it was Illegal 7 Likes
