It was an odd feeling today to buy only a one week pass for the train rather than a one month.
I have been buying a one month pass since the first day I made a trek into NYC. All I remember of it now is how lost I felt. It was my first few days in NYC and time to go to SoHo to report for my first meeting. On the way there I could not find the subway. Saying that now almost makes me feel stupid, but at the time I was more confused than anything else. Now I feel like an old pro, I know every turn and path on the most common routes, and even going to new stations I know how to read the signs and nuances so I do not get confused. Going to San Jose I will be right back into that unknown mode. At least I have a few trips to the area under my belt so I know a bit of the lay of the land. My first time to the area for MG training the three of us in my group ended up lost almost every night. Good thing I now have an iPhone and google maps.
