The Hustle and Bustle of New York City screams out for me and my family on a daily basis. Our souls yearn for the busy, the beautiful street art, the diversity, the food, and mostly the beautiful sights.

The thought of traveling with two children after pulling their devices from their clutches after a 6 hour flight, and having to visit a car rental office makes me reach for the mommy juice. Waiting on line, filling out papers, providing credit card information, waiting, waiting, waiting. Then having a beat up vehicle arrive. Swear years ago we had the worst hooptie, after a hail storm took out…
