The Eventful New York Vacation

The recent trip we had was quite the adventure! I still vividly remember feeling scared to a point of getting very terrified about Hurricane Sandy. I can still hear the howling of the wind, I can still feel the cold and moist air biting my face and I can certainly remember how it feels to be really scared stiff.

Images were running in my mind. What if we had to evacuate? What if the flood reaches where we were? What if the tree falls on the apartment? What if the water surge is so high that we would go down? Flashes of various images were running in my head like seeing many police patrols, ambulances, medics running around and carts pushed in the hospital just like the ones I see in the Howard-Medical.com hospital carts.

I know it was negative to think such thoughts but when you are in a situation where you and everyone else is at the mercy of Mother Nature, then you can only hope and pray that everyone will be safe and that everything will calm down.

Despite of the recent calamity and the exciting adventure we had gone through, I still want to visit New York. I will just have to make sure that no storm is brewing nearby.

Not Quite Up And About

It's been more than a week since we got back from our eventful NYC vacation at the height of Hurricane Sandy. I'm still reeling and the jet lag is kicking in big time. BUT, I am missing NYC already.

Call me crazy but I love the place so much I just can't get enough of it, hurricane and all. I just hoped the natural calamity didn't happen while we were there because I was looking forward to enjoy that getaway.

I learned a valuable lesson here. Next time we travel, I will certainly make sure that I check the weather  forecast around the place, in the nearby states and even from nearby countries before we go. I have not fully recovered from scary experience but really thankful that we are all safe. I feel so bad for those who have lost their properties and loved ones. This whole thing only proved that nobody can mess with Mother Nature.
