Or finding parking. Or paying for parking. Or any of it, really. So the train it was, and I discovered that train travel is actually really awesome. The seats are enormous, as is the gap between them. They recline enough so you can actually sleep and you don&#8217;t have to worry about cracking into someone&#8217;s knees when doing so. I loved it, and I&#8217;m definitely going to explore my options for future travel by train. But enough of my gushing: I was feeling a little off when we left Albany. By the time we pulled into Penn Station, it hurt to swallow and my head felt even larger than normal. <em>Uh-oh.\u00a0<\/em>But maybe I wasn&#8217;t getting sick. Maybe all I needed was a rest in the hotel room and I&#8217;d be ready for a fresh start the following morning.<\/p>\n<p>NOPE. By the next morning, a full blown war was raging in my body. Sore throat, stuffy head, cold sweats&#8230;the works. Oh, and <a href=\"https:\/\/mellzah.com\/index.php\/pulling-the-strings-behind-the-scenes\/\" target=\"_blank\">I got my period, too<\/a>. Fuck me, right? It wasn&#8217;t fair. I hadn&#8217;t licked a subway pole or eaten at Subway! But colds don&#8217;t give a damn about fair, and I was forced to cut down my NYC to-do list significantly. So without further ado, here&#8217;s the badly photoshopped vacation I should have had:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/brooklyn-museum-statue-of-liberty.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19681\" src=\"https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/brooklyn-museum-statue-of-liberty.jpg\" alt=\"Brooklyn Museum Mini Statue of Liberty\" width=\"600\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/brooklyn-museum-statue-of-liberty.jpg 642w, https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/brooklyn-museum-statue-of-liberty-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/brooklyn-museum-statue-of-liberty-150x199.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/brooklyn-museum-statue-of-liberty-400x532.jpg 400w, https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/brooklyn-museum-statue-of-liberty-200x266.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>Original photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/islespunkfan\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\">Neil R<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Holy shit, it&#8217;s the smaller Statue of Liberty in Brooklyn outside the Brooklyn Museum!
