How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

It’s A Parking Horror Show

in Travel on 08/17/12

NewYorkParkingLot

I am an awesome driver.  Brag much?  Hang on, confession coming!  However, I am NOT a fabulous “parker”.  So when I saw this parking “lot” in New York City I might have had heart palpitations and broken out in a cold sweat.  Are you freaking kidding me?  So your punishment for surviving a drive through the crazy streets of New York City and finding a much coveted parking spot is a horror lot like this??  You have to leave your baby with an attendant and trust that he won’t drop your car three floors down to it’s death as he manipulates the entire structure with his REMOTE?  Gasp.

No thanks.  I will stick to cabs.

      I think you’re brave enough for even driving in NYC. I wouldn’t even dream of it.

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
