Did you ever read or hear about what the African slaves went through going from Africa to the slave dealers countries? Did you ever read the book “No longer at ease” by Chinua Achebe? What about the Israelites journey through the wilderness on their journey to the promised land? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then you will have a better understanding of what am about to tell you concerning our vacation. From july 12th to the 31st of july we have seen 6 cities and 4 countries,we moved from Ulsan to Seoul where we spent 3 days and 2 nights you might like to check our last week in South Korea . Our journey then took us to London on a 12 hours flight,the post is here in case you didn’t read it. From London we went to New York on a flight of 8 hours everything about that trip can be found in these posts here. To some people this will be fun until you realize that my husband is like on of those slave dealers. Do you know how much trekking that i have done on this trip? Sometimes i wonder if he is out to punish me because of all the money that i have spent shopping,or is he trying to make vacation look unappealing to me that i wouldn’t want to go on another one in the nearest future,well if the second reason is the answer i have already given up on going anywhere with him. How can a man who can afford all these trips not afford to pay for taxi? Even when i volunteer to pay for the cab he will prefer to walk claiming that he is exercising we actually walk round Manhattan and now we have started again here in Ontario in Toronto. Apart from the stress from the walking about i am catching my fun. What do you think i should do?
We arrived Canada yesterday morning instead of Sunday as earlier planned.We checked out of our hotel around 12noon headed to the Airport for our 2.55 pm flight to Toronto,little did we know that our day will be spent at the Airport. Our flight was cancelled due to cloudy weather and we were put on a standby for the next flight which was for 5.30 pm. The long wait started at about 1.30pm it would have been okay if the flight left by then but it was delayed to 7.30 pm by this time my kids have become very restless after feeding and changing their diapers we waited.The flight came and left without us it was fully booked,we were told to wait again for the 9.00pm flight oh no! that flight have been delayed to 11.00 pm. You guessed right we didn’t make that flight too which was the last to Toronto for the day. The seats at the airport are not comfy enough for one to take a quick nap.
This was my worst experience at any Airport so far,we couldn’t go back to our hotel because we were in New Jersey airport and not JFK in New york.We called a hotel in New Jersey,entered the air train and stopped at the parking lot where the hotel shuttle bus came to pick us up.I was so pissed off with the whole situation i asked my husband what we were doing at that airport instead of JFK he then told me that the flight that was avaliable that day was an early morning flight and didn’t book it because of the kids. The lady at the boarding gate was not polite at all but i wasn’t going to give her that chance to get to me so i just ignore her.We went downstairs to collect back our luggage which we have earlier checked in.We were the last to leave the boarding gate ,got to our hotel room and to my greatest surprise we had a good sleep;we woke up around 5.00 am got prepared,fed the kids went downstairs for breakfast and entered the hotel shuttle to the airport for our 8.55 am flight.We went through the security check again how i hate all those checking,when we got to the boarding gate the lady there asked me if we have Canadian visa another stupid question how did we get there? I just told her yes and moved on to leave the dirty airport behind me.We had a very smooth flight that lasted for about 52 mins so in all we are grateful for we know that everything happens for a purpose.
Have you had any bad experience during a trip?

Quote from Wikipedia:
New York City, which is the largest city in the United States, is known for its history as a gateway for immigration to the United States and its status as a financial, cultural, transportation, and manufacturing center. It was named after the 17th century Duke of York, James Stuart, future James II and VII of England and Scotland.
New York was inhabited by the Algonquin, Iroquois, and Lenape Native American groups at the time Dutch and French nationals moved into the region in the early 17th century. First claimed by Henry Hudson in 1609, the region came to have Dutch forts in Fort Orange, near the site of the present-day capital of Albany in 1614 and was colonized by the Dutch in 1624, at both Albany and Manhattan; it later fell to British annexation in 1664. About one third of all of the battles of the Revolutionary War took place in New York. New York became an independent state on July 9, 1776 and enacted its constitution in 1777. The state ratified the United States Constitution on July 26, 1788 to become the 11th state. According to the US Department of Commerce, it is also the state of choice for foreign visitors, leading both Florida and California in tourism.
