The Quest for Luggage
Well being in NY you can get anything you desire, however it tends to be expensive. After doing exaustive research on the interweb, I set out to a store. Not just any store, but the wonderful beautiful Target. First I had to determine if the bag I required was in stock. I called 3 stores, and was on hold for quite sometime. I finally confirmed the bag was in stock however it was in another state. No biggy because it was only 3 miles away. Or so I thought.
First I jumped on the NY metro train a few stops to where I would transfer. My only guess is that NY and NJ “PATH” trains don’t get along. I got off the train where I thought I would be in PENN Station. I was not and had to walk outside about 3 blocks. I then found PENN Station and tried to find the PATH trains. I followed a sign or two for the “PATH” trains. However the signs stopped showing up, but there was no train. I finally asked someone. “6th and 32nd” they said. I thought to myself, “Oh where I just came from.” Finally I found the train but it was a bit unclear as to which to take. So like I have become acustom to, I jumped on a train. Forunately I was on the correct one.
After an hour of pure bliss and $200 later, I left Target with my new garment bag, filled with other goodies. I went back to the train station. It was even more confusing to find the correct train back. So much so that I got on the wrong train. It took me two stops to realize I went the wrong way. I exited and back to the other train platform trying to look like I do this everyday. Finally I made it back to Penn Station fournd my train home and 3.5 hours after leaving I was back home. That was Monday.
