Both of us woke up early, and became alert as the ship cruised under the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge. This is where RQS spent the last bit of charge in her camera, trying to get shots of the New York Harbor at night. Only one problem - it is hard to get a stable picture when the ship is moving and one is barely awake.
Around 7:30, we went to the restaurant and had a leisurely breakfast. And then, it was off to the terminal to claim our luggage before heading home. As now being usual, the luggage handlers put my bag in the wrong area, and I had to look in a different area to find it. Unlike past trips, there was no one at the customs desks - we could walk right out of the terminal without having our passports inspected again. And then it was time to go home....
RQS summoned an Uber, and had a second rate driver take her home. As for me, Cabbies only wanted to take people to the airport. And after about an hour of waiting, I joined a couple from England walking East to hail a cab. All 3 of us got in the cab, and we headed for the East Side. And there my trouble began. When I reached Grand Central, I forgot my big bag in the car. I was going a little bit crazy until I received a call on my cell phone. The English couple was only a block away, and I could pick up my bag. Will miracles never cease? So, after retrieving my bag, it was back to Grand Central where I could take the train home.
