The bus was canceled and I could not reach the office. I got stuck in the streets of New York without anywhere to go or who to call after 27 hours of travel.

We landed at JFK around 10:15 am and were out of the Airport by 13:10 pm. Just in an Uber and straight to the 37th Street corner 12th Avenue. There is no shade at the Bus Station and we had to wait from 14:05 to 15:35 pm to get in the Bus. The queue makers and driver were all such gentlemen. A smooth drive to State College. Excellent! 👌🏾
