A New York Minute
My husband and I are headed into the city tomorrow. We have to go and get our visa for Taiwan, for our trip at the end of this month – wow – I can’t believe it’s practically right around the corner!
We were supposed to go and scope out this new train station that we’re supposed to be leaving from. I’ve taken the train from Princeton Junction into NYC before, but the problem is that unless you get to PJ by 6:30 am, you won’t get a parking space. So one of my friends was telling me about another train station that may actually be closer on Jersey Ave., but since I’ve never been there, I’m not sure where it is. I told my husband that we needed to go and scope it out this weekend, but we didn’t get the chance. Hopefully this evening we’ll go find out where it is. Either that, or we’ll have to leave the house by 6 am tomorrow and go to Princeton Junction…
Then we need to figure out how to get to the Taiwanese Consulate. I have the address: 885 Second Avenue, 17th Floor between 47th and 48th Street.
I just need to figure out how to get there.
To top that all off, I’m meeting Mike (the guy I’m in touch with about that job offer) tomorrow as well. Originally I was slated to meet him at 10 am. But since the consulate only opens at 9, and is located all the way up on 2nd Ave., I’ve asked him to reschedule to around 1 pm or so. I figure I can stop off at the consulate at 9. Drop off any paperwork, conduct any needed interviews, have a quick bite to eat, and then trek down to AoA to meet him. Then after the meeting, which I’m assuming won’t take more than an hour or so, I’ll head back up to the Consulate to pick up the documents. They close at 4:30 so provided I’m out of AoA by 2, I should have no problem getting back up to the consulate to pick up the completed documents.
I just hope everything goes smoothly…
