Thanks so much you guys for trying to reassure me . Hopefully if it calls for it, I will be able to poke his eyes out!!!! SuperXO, what if he did hold a gun to our heads or a knife to our throats...ehh, I don't think I would know what to do... Do you have any recommendations for me? I really think I should take a self-defense course just to be more assured...

Aephi alum, did you say anything important on the cell phone to your husband, like, "You should expect me in so and so minutes," or something like that?? Yeah, I'm kinda wary of taxi drivers too! OK, is this just a myth - I heard that NYC is very scary b/c your purse/baggage/etc. can be stolen at anytime? thanks everyone for responding !
