I ask you this...HOW do I lose the British accent I aquired on my mini-vaca???
Apperently one of my multi-voices in my brain is Brittish. She has taken over and pops out almost every time I open my mouth!!! There has to be a cure..
Sister is now infected as well. I truely believe it is a contagious thing. You know, like when you hang out with teenage girls you start doing Ducklips, or teenage boys you say dude 1000x a day, or you kick it with your guy pals and beer is suddenly your go to beverage! I now speak as if i am from Britain!
Take this as a warning if you will, but be careful venturing to NY...There is something out there that will contaminate you and you will soon talk with a cute, little curt accent!!

9hr rd trip that could have been 7
My lovely sister decided she wanted to go on a impromptu vacation. I gladly accepted the mission. I was to drive and pay for half the lodging. I can do this NO problem..
Not fun things that happen. Threaten to drag sister's children like tin cans behind a hillbilly wedding car if they don't stop acting up, GPS goes down in downtown Manhattan, NY due to weather, Stuck in traffic in an SUV driving in circles for over an hour to get to the tunnel but can't due to construction, Garbage truck barrels at SUV 90mph through intersection only to stop 1/10 of a millimeter from passenger side, Niece and sister have a scream fest, Silver small car in the blindspot of the SUV was almost a shiny spot on the rim of my vehicle on the NJ turnpike, (seriously, small cars need to understand, I am big, I don't see you, DONOT HIDE over there!!!) last most notable thoughts are...The toll we avoided going into Jersey was only $1 and added 2hrs to our travel time plus I was out of stock in midol & sister made me experience a "dry" vacation!
Fun times :) Discovered they use a beachball to paint dots on the roads in PA to warn you when you are traveling to close aka tailgating or drafting..which ever is the case I was always in that realm. There are signs that tell you to back off! hahaha.. They must have way too much funding in the street sign department in PA because they actually have mile makers for every 10th of a mile! I found out I was driving a floating vehicle, not sure I have that endorsement on my DL but it's cool, because only the GPS thought it was a hovercraft, not me. Seriously there where many times as we ventured through NJ "floating" because of all the new roads my GPS did not know of. Note to all, do not blindly follow the GPS, it will make you turn into embankments and up one way streets! When you rent a 4 person Surrie and question how hard will this be, easy right..And the owner laughs then says no, it's not..She is not a liar!! Being lost in NY is actually a great way to find awesome shopping spots and fantastic food places! Side note - we ate pizza everyday and the votes are cast, NJ has the by far, most delicious pizza ever. There is nothing to compare them to.
The vacation was amazing, my sister and I had much needed escape time.. I was so very proud when she actually swam in the ocean!! Plus we concocted a plan of action for next years vacation :) I can not believe that I will actually say this, but the multi-voices in my head actually took a break and held not one single board meeting while we where having our little adventure, each took its turn though!! PS thank you little sister for concurring your hate of highway travel and driving that last hr or so home!!
