New York isn’t really all that far from Antigonish, or at least in terms of distance! It’s roughly a 15 hour drive… That’s about;
- 1 near miss car accident!
- 2 coolers packed with fruits and veggies!!
- 3 tanks of gas!!!
That being said, it is a long way from what constitutes a normal day for us. We were out for anonymity, a little of the lights and show, and some of the mad dash of NYC in the lead up to Christmas. As an added layer of complication, we’ve been working to exercise and eat more healthy for the past several weeks. It was important to us to maintain that momentum, even on the road and in NYC, with the great smelling foods that are part of street walking and dining in the “big apple”.
We have a bit of a formula that’s pretty set for this city type of trip. The core is an up front drive. It puts us on the ground in the place of choice in an economical fashion, leaving funds for whatever attractions we’d like to take in! Then we go full on to try and make the best of the time we have.
