The bus broke down, a teacher got lost...

Seems my son's trip to NY city yesterday was riddled with problems.. First, he got sick on the bus... very very sick. He said he vomited twice on the bus, and once again after getting off the bus.. but later in the day he felt a bit better, until it was time to make the long trek back home, then he started getting sick again... Once they arrived in NY they boarded a ferry to take them to see the Statue of Liberty. Then they had to take a ferry back to the busses... One teacher took her group of kids on the wrong ferry! So they had to take the ferry back to the island then take the correct ferry back to the busses. That held them up for an hour and a half.. so they were very late getting to the Mets game and only got to see the last 2 innings.. The bus ride through Times Square took longer than expected due to traffic.. But then they were finally on their way home.. however one of their two busses broke down on the way home. So they loaded as many kids onto the one bus as they could, but there were a few adults and 27 kids that couldn't fit onto the first bus. However the bus company was not at all helpful to our group... In the end the kids and adults boarded a Trailways bus which brought them to the main bus station in our city (half an hour away from our town and our school) where they were met by another bus from the company we hired which brought them back to the school.. They arrived back at the school at 4:15 am. My son thankfully was put onto the first bus due to feeling sick, and he arrived home at 2am.. Other than that he had a great time!
