Tuesday 11/11 - the final day of travel

We arrived at Savannah GA, then on to Fayetteville NC, then arrived in Richmond VA at 5:15am. The Richmond to NYC bus was scheduled to leave 8:00 and arrive at the Port Authority at 3:20pm. A 2-3/4 hour layover. Yeesh! Then a wonderful thing happened - an earlier bus headed for NYC that should've been gone by now arrived late. My 2-3/4 hour layover was cut to 15 minutes! We were on the road a little after 5:30, took an hour rest in Delaware, and still got to NYC around 12:30pm.

Had a short visit with that pal o'mine, Ralph Kramden. We formally addressed each other, "Hello ball", then Ralphie boy and selfie boy parted ways. The LIRR Babylon branch train was already at the track when I got there with a whole 4 minutes to spare! I was home in an easy chair with pillows by 1:45pm because yes, my knees and hips still hurt.

And so ends this blog on my Tora no Maki trip to Flurduh back to Noo Yawk.
