Heeeeeeeee yeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
Hmm I just wanted to start differently this time; but looks like i am freaking out here... This time i have lots to tell you since i have visited so many places in the last two weekends.
The first place where i had gone is Boston, the week prior to this week, and this weekend to Niagara falls.
Boston Trip
Me, Nishant and my roommate made a plan to meet our friends in Boston. Nishant wanted to drive his accent manual to Boston, suggested saving lot of money both in Gas and Rent areas, and it was hectic for him to drive manual car for 500miles one way though.
We started like 7ish since i had some urgent work to complete, and we reached there by 3 took 2 breaks to fill gas and stomach. Nishant has his own ways to stay awake while driving like chewing gum and mountain dew. He says the caffeine in the drink keeps him awake; any ways he never slept off while driving :)
Boston is a beautiful place with lot of small islands and a good harbor. But we didn't do much out there, other than trying some new drinks at night. We went to spectacle island and did whale watching in deep sea. Got some nice pictures during the trip. One of my best album is Boston Trip album. Whale watching was not so impressive as i expected since i could see only the back and tail of the whales. Around 9 whales we saw. But then it was my first trip into the sea, it was beautiful but scary to be somewhere were there is only water all around. But our boat was like a small ship which was cruising at very high speed in to the deep sea, which made the trip unforgettable
On the way back we got stuck up in the New York traffic. New York is the worst place i have ever seen for drivers, don't know couldn't find anything so appealing about New York. Looks like a dirty city with lot of sky scrappers and maximum number of unsolved crimes. It took 2 hours for us to reach George Washington bridge from I-95.
Niagara Trip
This weekend my colleagues had arranged a trip to Niagara falls in the far north of NY. We have rented two cars, Pontiac Grand Prix and GMC Acadia, I loved the GMC. I drove it inside the hotel campus and it was lovely. Pontiac was an old model but had a roaring V6 engine which gave it a very good acceleration.
We planned to start at 2am, but the circumstances made us wait till 4. We reached there by 12 noon the next day. I was the navigator for my driver. And i did a good job without any faults, we reached safe before those who had GPS. Now i can go to Niagara with out any maps, i have by hearted the 450mile route. I just need to remember the sequence of interstate high ways. I-270, I-70, I-76, I-79, I-90, I-190 and exit 22 to Canada. :)
It was awesome as expected especially the trip to straight under the Canada falls in a boat. unforgettable it was. There also i have got some nice photos; though i cant say i have the best photos, they were just different.
This weekend is going to be a long weekend, I think its labor day; i am not sure. Whatever, that leaves an extra day thats it. My friends are planning for a big time trip to Florida, they are taking Friday off and flying to Florida. I didn't go since i wanted to route that money to some where else. I wont say for something useful since i am not that type :) .I have got a creative speaker system to watch movies, and a new 50mm lens to take portraits, so that gives you an idea how usefully i do spend money. I don't know what else to buy now may be i will save some money for a change.
I wanna see some beautiful places without spending much money. I wanna get my license easily so that i can rent out a GMC and go some where.. These are my short term dreams as of now. I gave up thinking about my long term dreams
