Travel questions

Personalized Learning

A few travel questions from this week’s excursions:

why is the print on hotel shampoo bottles so small? (ever put lotion on your head?)
why do middle seaters think they get the armrest?
why are NYC taxis the only ones that take credit cards?
how did we navigate before Google Maps?
why would anyone traveling from Newark Penn to New York Penn board a southbound Amtrak express?

The answer to the last one is ‘talking on a conference call while running to catch a train’ (perhaps the next thing to be outlawed). I ended up in Philly; $100 and 3 hours later I was back in NYC.
