    Last Minute Tips

    I used to live in the town over from Sandy Hook, I am going to Port Arthur for the historic site. I have driven on the (wrong side of the road :D ) before in Scotland and Ireland. I am from rural Florida so I am used to the wild life.

    New York city airports

    Have to use the NYC airports at least a dozen times a year and its an experience I always dread. Newark and JFK are both the same travel time to Manhattan.
