The Possibilities are Endless with a Car in New York January 16th, 2010
My plane was almost a half-a-day delayed and so the friend who was going to pick me up at JFK couldn’t do it. I ended up, while in-flight, going on the Internet and investigating some sites in New York that will let hire a car. I got lucky and found this site: http://www.newyorkcitycarhire.com, and I managed to hire a car at a decent rate. Whew!
When I arrived, It wasn’t hard at all to find the car hire place and retrieve my car. I’ve been to New York many times, but I’ve never ever considered driving in New York, I’ve always used the public transportation or hailed a taxi. But, as I’m driving out of JFK, I had a sense of adventure, I felt very free to go anywhere I wanted to, I’ve never felt this way before while in New York City. I could handle the traffic quite well, coming from the big city of London. Just driving on the other side of the road was the tricky part. I took it a bit slow at first, being honked at constantly, and it only took me a few turns here and there to get the hang of it.
It was nice driving up to my friends house, which was not far from Grand Central Station and actually finding a place to park. From her house, after dropping off my bags (had a key), I went to do some sight seeing, I wanted to take my car, but wondered about finding any parking no matter where I went. I threw caution to the wind and drove to Central Park. Believe it or not, there was a parking space! Central Park is really very nice, this is the first place I always see when I’m here. I always managed to find something new at the park, something I hadn’t seen before. The park is so big, I think no matter how many times I visit it, I will always find something new. There were a lot of people out on boats along the canals today. I found a rock I could climb on and then headed to Strawberry Fields where I made arrangements for my friend to find me when she gets off work.
After she arrived, I told her about my car hire. She got the biggest smile on her face! I could tell her mind was working away with where we could possibly go. She hasn’t owned a car ever since she moved here. I told her the possibilities were endless!
