So there are 5 researchers here in NY and we had our first NY experience when we arrived at the airport and the driver who was paid $15 extra just to have a sign with our name on it was nowhere to be found. When he was called, he said he must have picked up the wrong people. Who else would go to a driver whose sign said ISR researchers? Whatever, take what you can get, I guess.
Anyway, once we got it all settled and packed in the Escalade (what, what) much too close for our comfort we were on the road. I was sitting directly behind the driver's seat where he had a list of rules that he would adhere to. Within the first 5 minutes he had broken at least half of them including talking on a cell phone and texting--using 2 different phones-- while driving and honking incessently. We seriously almost got in an accident but thanks to the open lane on the left we were able to swerve because we definitely would not have been able to brake in time. But we did get there super quickly. In a NY minute!
