Almost Had To Use Plan C

First of all this is the first time that I have driven to LaGuardia Airport. I have frequented other airports in the area but not this one. Wait yes I was here once but I was a child and I am sure that I slept the whole to and from the airport. Which brings me to getting to the airport, or plan A initially I had thought that I was going to take the bus. Sounds easy right? Wrong getting to the airport would not have been a problem but getting home could have been. If I was one drop late that would have left me in Port Authority in Manhattan at like 11 o’clock at night. Not such a nice area at night.

So that brings me to driving myself or plan B. This was not Gerard’s choice because he wants the new car to remain looking like a new car. This is less of a worry for me. Lets get honest he hates it when I drive into the city. Anytime I have had to drive into Brooklyn or Manhattan he worries. I have a general idea of where I am but typically he gets a call with a frantic “I LOST!” Thank goodness he knows his way around in most of the neighboring cities. Does anyone remember when I had to get the fingerprinting done for the I-171? Well I do and so does he.
Now I am thinking I can do this I got a set of my favorite on line directions that me everywhere perfectly. I do also have Gerard’s mother’s GPS. This way I do not have rent one in Detroit. So I start out thinking I have this all under control. Until I realize that LGA does not have an actual address for the GPS and this GPS does not have the airports pre-programmed (who knows if any do).

So yes I was lost on the way to the airport into Jersey City, I think. Geralyn if you are reading this you almost got a call this morning. I saw the Pulaski sky way and I may have even used it but who actually knows. Instead I thought maybe Joannie my sister could help. What was I thinking my sister gets lost coming to my house. Just kidding Joannie you really kept your cool and helped to calm me down.

So that is when I followed my own inner advice. I hope you all are ready for this because it has always worked for me. I followed the car in front of me. Yes you read that right. This method has gotten me to many of the spots that I have needed to go to over the year.

So I am writing this in the airport as a practice dry run for my trip to Russia one day.
I have no idea what plan C is by the way.
