NY Yankees and Subways
I was up early making sure everything was still in order for my flight to New York City. I double checked all my things and said goodbye to my roommates and took the bus to the airport and caught my flight. When I arrived at the JFK airport, I took the Airport Shuttle to my hotel, it was one of the better NY hotels that was only a few blocks away from Central Park. But, before I could catch the shuttle I had to go through customs, which was cool by me, I’d rather be safe in New York while I’m there visiting.
It took the shuttle two hours to get me to my hotel, but it was worth it. I’d never be able to drive around New York on my own. The congestion alone would drive me batty. I ran into a bit of a problem with my money. I mean, I had money, but it was Canadian and I couldn’t find anyone to convert it for me. Something about it being after 4pm and how the new exchange rates wouldn’t be available until tomorrow morning at 9am! Luckily, the concierge at my hotel managed to find a bank that would help me apply for an emergency money wire. I had to go to a not so savory part of town to pick up the money, but it was all cool, because it was just in time for me to make my way to the Yankee Baseball Stadium.
I actually caught the subway to the Yankee Stadium all on my own without asking directions. I then followed the crowd to the stadium. I picked up my tickets at the ‘Will Call’ window and made my way to my seat. I had a really good seat, it was right behind 1st base on the first level! What a great view! I really liked ordering a hot dog and having it tossed to me. That day, the Yankee’s lost, but it was a great experience for me. My first American baseball game! The Yankees to boot.
I once again, managed to find the right subway to take me back to my hotel for a good night’s rest before another grand day in New York City.
