I've done a lot of traveling to NY. The experiences are always good except when you are stuck in the traffic for too long which isn't new to NY.
Traveling to Canada is most for the most time minus the border. Usually going to Canada isn't a lot of trouble but coming back to the US is. I remember last time when we went and were coming back, they stopped us and then we had to wait like 2 hours when they didn't even do anything and then said you can go. It was sooooo exhausting and I was so mad at them.

The young man who drove us couldn't be more than 23. He had a quick smile on his face as he asked us, "You from India?" and I nodded. "Oh one day," he continued, "I will go to India. I love your films!" I was surprised but Shahrukh Khan had already made cultural inroads into this country. Anyway I wasn't here to discuss SRK.
We soon nosed our way to the hotel. It was a good hotel and was called "Crown's Plaza". We were told by the hotel staff that it had been the military Head Quarters of the country during World War II. But it was a beautiful hotel and I couldn't see anything military about it. We had to take an evening cruise down the River Vltava (pronounced as Vultava).
So we got ready for our first evening in Prague. A city which I was going to see shortly from a cruise boat. We were driven to the jetty where we boarded the boat. It was huge, and had two storeys. The upper deck which was open the middle one where the dinner and music was to be and the lower one was reserved for our group.
It was not a very wide river but was wide enough. The waters flowed gently as did the boat. We were going to be afloat for more than 3 hours. There were a few ducks and a few swans too. On the riverside, holiday makers were sitting and enjoying the weather which was warm by European standards. The river divided at a point into a fork. Trees lining the banks, washed their leafy tresses in the cool dark water. Blossoms which were blown by the wind fell in numbers on the water to form floral mats. Oh it looked so beautiful. We wined and dined and heard the singer crooning on the middle deck.
Suddenly I felt so free, so much at ease and so elated. I stretched out my feet but drew my cardigan close around me for as the evening wore on, there was a nip in the air. I took in the sights of old castles and forts all around us. And of course the numerous churches, that were made defunct during the communist regime. There were several bridges on the river connecting one side of the city to the other. The most famous is "Charles Bridge".
