My take on the east coast:
Pros+
Wawa on every corner
Forests to either side of the highways ["expressways"]
Being so close to everything [D.C., NYC, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, etcetera]
Dark, misty skies
Gas prices [~$2.60]
They still have Target
And a Starbucks on every block
John of New York
Dirty subways [I actually enjoyed riding them]
Cons-
Toll roads
Traffic
Dirty subways
Confusing bus terminals
Atlantic City
There are more, of course, but my brain is still fried. I can't believe it's not even 10a.m. yet. Agh.
So I ended up having more than enough money for our trip, thanks to my mom. Didn't buy much though. I bought Jason Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He bought me Life of Pi. Other than that, I got a couple things for my family from New York and spent whatever else on food and 4 bus tickets. And Dramamine. That shit knocks you out.
I took a lot of pictures, so I'll have those up in a day or two.
