Okay here is a couple I wasn't there but weird situations. My last "employed" job for someone else, I managed a factory and work center for people with disabilites at the same time. We were busy and running double shifts so that meant arriving at 9 (I slept in a smidge) and usually left at 1 in the morning. I covered second shift along with my other duties. The main office was going to do a sports memorabilia auction and there was a signing happening in the general area of where they were sending me. Well who is the young one and can handle red eyes out and back, me. They told me it was a thank you for the double shifts I pulled, yeah right. Well, things ended up falling through so I didn't make the signings thing on 9/10/2000 in New York. I would have flown back later on 9/11/2000. Got lucky there. So I never had been to NYC.
Well several years later, ISUs spring break and the local schools spring break finally align. So we are going to take a 4 day or so trip with the whole family for spring break for once. We line it up and are all set. We were scheduled to fly into NYC on 3/13/2020. Well a few days before, we are hearing this thing called COVID is raising havoc out there and we need to stay away from certain parts of the town, wasn't the parts we were going to so we held steady. A day or two later it hits the fan and on 3/12/2020 I spend the whole day on the phone and computer chats getting flights cancelled and hotel rooms cancelled. Ended up eating one night at a hotel that they would not refund but cancelled out finally.
So, I've never been to NYC and by the looks of it, I've never supposed to go.
