NEWARK AND BACK

A number of years ago, when several segments of our family were flying in from the UK for our daughter's wedding, I discovered that most of them had been sold the same lie by their travel agents.

Apparently the average person booking you seats to the USA tells you there are three major airports in New York - JFK, LGA and NEWARK! The real specialists in misinformation then enlighten the ignorant that the most convenient of those for Long Island is Newark!

I spent too many days traveling across Staten Island and into Jersey back then. And I did it again today as our friends Basil and Cathy D'Souza from India were booked on a flight that arrived on the wrong side of the Hudson.

I hope one day overseas travel agents will learn that Newark is not in New York, it's a New Jeresy entity, just like the Giants and Jets!
