Okay, my trip ended when I got my ass home. But...our beloved female lead, Ching, still had another trip to go - back to her 2-story flat in Delaware.

Our heroine spent the night on my mum's leather coach and passed out the minute her head touched the pillow. We were so blasted tired that walking and chewing gum simultaneously was an impossible task. In the morning, mum woke Ching up so she could catch her early bus from NYC Chinatown to Philly Chinatown (round-trip fare: $25). A natural-born sprinter, she made it to the bus in 7 minutes from mum's place before it pulled out of its parking spot.

Well, it turns out that the transaction couldn't be defined as, "easy sailing." The bus had trouble leaving the city as the NYC marathon blockaded every exit known to mankind. After much ado, the driver took one last shot and attempted to leave the city via George Washington Bridge. For over an hour, she caught sights and sounds of NYC that most folks would have to pay $45 for.

Luckily, she made it home in one piece. Again - another roundabout, but this time, in NYC. So the roundabout business began when Ching took an earlier bus to NYC but got booted off because of registration issues back on 4/21/05.

So...the trip ends here.

Now...can we plan the NEXT UK trip!?!?!!
