That’s our (very nice) taxi driver watching in the background while Kendrick flags down the wonderful, amazing, angelic Good Samaritan Elizabeth, who stopped for us and then drove us straight to the airport, even though she and her baby, Spenny (sp?), were on their way to visit her parents on Long Island.
We got to the airport in plenty of time for our flight to Ohio. It seemed that our luck was taking a turn for the better!
Oh, but just you wait…
OK, so our holiday travel experience thus far has been…less-than-smooth.
Were you one of the hundreds of people stuck in terrible traffic on the Grand Central Parkway on the way to LaGuardia Airport around 6PM on Wednesday? Well, you can thank us (or at least the lady who cut off our taxi, resulting in a semi-terrifying skid and collision). The accident was bad enough that the taxi driver had to wait for the police, but our flight time was rapidly drawing nearer…so Kendrick and I stood in the lane that had been blocked off for the accident and sort of flailed around, hoping to find a taxi willing to stop in the middle of the highway to pick us up. This plan did not work.
Fortunately, a Good Samaritan came to our aid.
