Edge Management

We were at JFK airport, when we asked the car hire employee for a van big enough to seat 8 people, plus their luggage, and you should have seen the look on the clerks face, she really was surprised. We were at a car hire in New York City http://www.newyorkcitycarhire.com. But, she then smiled and said they have plenty of different kinds of vans and that she’s sure she can accommodate us. We were really happy with the vehicle we got, it fit all of us, our bags and it had a navigation system.

 

It took us a while to get used to how the navigation systems works, but once we got use to it, it really came in handy. No matter where we wanted to go, it gave us the directions and the best route to get there.

 

It was late in the afternoon, but getting our first glimpse of the Manhattan skyline made us all excited. Then we ran into a traffic jam, it literally took us hours to get into midtown. We weren’t sure if we’d make through the Long Island Express way, we felt all trapped and wondered what could tie-up traffic like this? We couldn’t figure out how New Yorkers put up with this day in and day out.

 

When we made it over the East River and the wind picked up and a tremendous thunderstorm broke over head. We were all laughing at just how hard New York was making it for us to enter the city.

 

We really thought when we left JFK that we had plenty of time to find our hotel, unpack and maybe, just maybe see some of Manhattan before we had to be at our programed performance at a private Birthday party, but instead, because of the gridlock, we had to go straight to the place where we were performing. Not a good first day in New York City. We hope tomorrow, when we plan to take the SUV to Brooklyn, that we won’t run into any more gridlocks like the one we hit today.
