Because the journey from Toronto to New York City was a 9 hour journey I planned to stop over at Scranton for a night before NYC.

Checked into the Radisson Hotel in Scranton which used to be Scranton's railway station. By the way Scranton is the birthplace of Joe Biden.

Scranton seemed to be a sleepy old town as most of the businesses were closed very early. So I had my dinner at the bar.

From collecting the car to returning it, I did 1,973 miles or 3,175 km - NYC to Boston to White Mountains to Qubec to Montreal to Toronto to Niagara Falls to Scranton back to NYC. All was good.

Since I had made some comparison of fuel prices now that I am back I thought I make a comparison too with Thai and Singapore fuel prices

As soon as i will finish my studies i will be out traveling again and hopefully this time for years and years.

A short holiday to see autumn leaves sounds fantastic! Last fall, I took a similar trip to see the changing colors, and it was amazing. If you’re thinking about making the journey more comfortable, you might want to check out https://travelbusinessclass.com/united-business-class. I found that upgrading to business class on one of my trips made the whole experience a lot more enjoyable, especially with the extra space and amenities.
