A Short Holiday to see Autumn Leaves

[Froggy]

After a few hours and a bottle of wine it was time to cross the border

Crossing the border was once again very easy there were no question asked simply passed the passport to officer her looked and scanned and hand back to you. Of we went.

Because the journey from Toronto to New York City was a 9 hour journey I planned to stop over at Scranton for a night before NYC.

Checked into the Radisson Hotel in Scranton which used to be Scranton's railway station. By the way Scranton is the birthplace of Joe Biden.

Classic

Scranton seemed to be a sleepy old town as most of the businesses were closed very early. So I had my dinner at the bar.

Fantastic burger

Scranton to NYC was a 2.6hr drive and half an hour into our drive we bump onto this beautiful family restaurant so we had breakfast there -

The Barrel - https://goo.gl/maps/Kpoxu9YoeJmVovVs8

We really enjoy the food and the people in this restaurant

So it was our last night in NYC we are here again to catch our flight back to Bangkok and also to return the car.

From collecting the car to returning it, I did 1,973 miles or 3,175 km - NYC to Boston to White Mountains to Qubec to Montreal to Toronto to Niagara Falls to Scranton back to NYC. All was good.

Last few photos in NYC

Cutting hair costs US$35 as for cut and shave will be US$65. My cut and shave in Thailand is 100m baht or $4

Common sight in MYC

Noticed many traffic enforcers are of the Indian descent

Colourful

Shop selling bonks

Police came to chase these roadside vendors away

Noticed all corner shops are of the Indian descent

Since I had made some comparison of fuel prices now that I am back I thought I make a comparison too with Thai and Singapore fuel prices

A short holiday to see autumn leaves sounds fantastic! Last fall, I took a similar trip to see the changing colors, and it was amazing. If you’re thinking about making the journey more comfortable, you might want to check out https://travelbusinessclass.com/united-business-class. I found that upgrading to business class on one of my trips made the whole experience a lot more enjoyable, especially with the extra space and amenities.
