We survived, nobody cried (well maybe a little)and we’re still married.😂
Yesterday’s travel day was… a DAY. 😂🚐
My transplant hospital is in Westchester, so we usually stay at Croton Point Park.
Getting to the park? Easy enough.
Getting out of that area with a 34' Class A and a toad? That’s where the adventure begins. 🤦♀️
There are SO many roads we can’t take because they’re passenger cars only, along with those lovely little low bridge underpasses that seem to have been specifically designed to ruin an RVer’s day. 😂 And, of course, neither of our RV GPS systems can ever agree on the “best” way out.
So we usually end up on some ridiculously narrow, winding, hilly road that makes you question every life decision that led you to this moment.
Yesterday? Add construction. Everywhere. 🙃
After FINALLY escaping that area, we found ourselves in the Bronx heading toward the George Washington Bridge.
And then… THIS. 😳
(Video attached)
It was INSANE.
There may or may not have been a few colorful expletives coming from the driver’s seat. 🤣🌶️
Once we survived the GWB, we made our way through Jersey, where the traffic was doing its usual Jersey thing. Eventually, though, things started moving. Traffic settled down. Our nerves started returning to their normal levels.
All was right with the world again.
NOPE. 😂
An accident in the middle of the Delaware Memorial Bridge brought everything to a screeching halt. Traffic was backed up several exits BEFORE the bridge, and we spent the next 1½–2 HOURS creeping along about 5 feet at a time.
By the time we finally made it to base, it was around 6 PM.
And because apparently the universe wasn’t quite finished with us yet… the commercial gate was closed. 🤦♀️
Which meant taking the main gate and navigating the chicane with a 34' Class A pulling our toad.
After the day we had just survived, that felt like the final boss. 😂
But we made it.
Tired. Stressed. A little frazzled.
But we made it "home". ❤️
And I have to give Kyle major credit. He handled ALL of that like an absolute pro. Those roads, that traffic, the bridge, the construction, the GPS nonsense, the chicane…
Yesterday was definitely a day.
And today?
We’re parked. We’re breathing. And nobody is asking the GPS for directions. 😂🚐❤️
