It was a perfect vacation. Something had to go wrong. We arrive at the bus stop. We're nervous, and we don't know how long it will take to get to the train station. The trip consists of one bus ride and two subway rides.
Timing is everything.
The bus arrives, and we get on, hoping the driver will be a fast one. No such luck. The bus arrives at our stop. We jump off and run toward the subway, hoping to catch a train as it's about to leave. We arrive at the subway station.
