The 28-Hour Trip to Thailand
Starting off in the East Village and taking the E/F train to JFK on a Sunday morning. As any New Yorker would know, taking public transportation on a Sunday is a pain in the butt. Train schedules and routes are all over the place. There goes half my hair and nails from stressfully waiting for the train to arrive and hoping to get to JFK on time.
