My friend has a gadget mounted in her car that tracks the toll fees so she can go thru the EZPass lanes. The day started out rainy and it was pouring for half the day.
About halfway on the GW bridge is NJ and half is NY..here we cross to the NY state border.
Here's the NJ sign as we get back from NYC. This is the 3rd day we crossed and I finally got a decent shot from the moving car.
The other option we took was the NY waterways. This takes us directly to Midtown Manhattan where we can board a bus that'll take us to Times Square.
I also got a chance to experience the Amtrak to Washington DC. It took us around 3 hrs from Newark Airport to Washington DC's Union Station.
The interior of the Amtrak is like an airplane, except you can take more carry-on luggage. There's even an electrical outlet so you can plug in your laptop to do some work. We stopped at Trenton, Wilmington, Philadelphia before arriving in DC.
When we were returning, it was pouring like dogs and cats. It's actually very difficult to focus thru the rainy window..I kept focusing on the window but was able to get a couple shots.
In DC, we took the subway. The escalator to the underground was massive and was a long way down.
Some routes took the underground above ground, like this station for the Catholic Univ. of America.
NY subway reminded me of an ant farm..lots of people going up and down these narrow walkways. I didn't see any escalators..just stairways.
To avoid bringing attention to myself in the NY subway and also make my friend nervous, I used my cellphone camera and was lucky to get this one of the train speeding by.
Here's my United Airlines flight back home. I was bored while waiting in Denver and took these two shots with my cell which I merged together.

Wow Shun-Wah, great post! It makes me feel so small-town looking at your photos.
Very cool! I like the driving in the traffic shot. I remember driving there, it was so crazy. The rudest drivers I have ever seen any where. Great non-car shots too!
