I Loved the trip there &back

Enjoy this ferry. I had a 9:00 appointment, showed up very early and they squeezed me in on the 7:00 - which was running a wee bit late. Excellent staff and service. Sure beats driving back across Long Island and NYC to get to the other side.

Take the ferry regularly and have to say it's a beautiful way to travel and the crew does a great job. Only recently I have seen two different attendants get annoyed with passengers, but today one screamed right in my face. It's not like I've never done this before, but maybe he hasn't. Or maybe he doesn't have a driver's license and understand there is a slight movement when I put my car into park and remove my foot from the break? Probably easier to scream like that at a woman, too.

Sure beats travelling on LIE and over the Whitestone or Throgs Neck and north on I ,95 to Quinnipiac University in Hamden,CT.
