Editorial Summary

The creator describes a series of stressful travel events occurring while traveling to a group cruise. The journey began with a flight from Ottawa to New York, followed by a complicated and lengthy transit process involving buses, trains, and multiple shuttles. Confusion arose regarding hotel locations due to multiple Courtyard Marriott properties in the Newark area, which led to booking errors and transportation difficulties. The most significant event occurred during a shuttle ride in rainy conditions. The creator explains that the shuttle driver attempted to maneuver around tractor trailers, resulting in a near collision. A tractor trailer pulling into a lane pushed the shuttle toward a cement wall, causing the vehicle to skid to a stop. The creator notes that wearing a seatbelt was a crucial decision during the incident. Despite the frightening experience and being shaken up, the group arrived at their destination and prepared to depart on the Caribbean Princess the following morning.
