New England Getaway: Leaving New York

on
August 10, 2026

Good morning. I got to sleep at 11:15 last night and my alarm was set for 4am.
I can finally breathe. I had some trouble finding my subway station. It wasn’t one that comes up out of the sidewalk. It was one that is on the side of a building….

New England Getaway: Embarkation

I entered the port at 1:18.
