Big lights will inspire you

And with that, our ten days in Brooklyn is over. After packing and cleaning last night, we woke up this morning to find that Gabe leaked through his diaper and wet the sheets. So we added an express wash and dry to our list of things to get done in the morning. I called Java Car Service again for a taxi, who promised it would arrive at 08:50 in front of our apartment (our flight was at 11:00).

With all of our stuff on the sidewalk, at 08:50, there was no cab in sight. Upon calling the dispatch, we were told the driver went to the wrong address, and he would be there in 7 minutes. Ten minutes after that, still no cab. ARGH. A passing Arecibo cab offered to take us, so we hopped in, frustrated and annoyed. I can't recommend any of the car services we used in Brooklyn (Legends Limousine, Java, Arecibo). Fortunately, traffic was light on the BQE, and we made it in plenty of time to check our luggage and car seat, as well as grab a bite to eat.

Hopefully, some of the notes from this trip will be useful to you, dear reader, if you ever find yourself visiting Brooklyn with a rambunctious toddler!
