What a start with your Airbnb hosts cancelling on you.
I think it’s things like that which explains why I’ve never booked with them - I’d worry like mad until we were there and can do without the stress. Glad you got something else sorted.
Yes New Yorkers can be a bit more abrupt than we’re used to, particularly at the airport.
The tickets at the station sound a bit of a nightmare and can see why it upset you. Glad that the subway lady was friendly and helpful and hope you managed to get it refunded.
Your pizza looks good and the weather looks fabulous! Looking forward to the next instalment.
