Bus bathroom
In the beginning of our tour the bus driver and the tour director told us that the bus bathroom was closed and can be used in the case of an emergency. On the day we left for New York my daughter had to use the bathroom and she was told no that she needed to hold it. By the time we got to the parking lot of Citi Field we were told to go use the port a potty. On the way towards it, it started to rain. After the game on the way to the hotel she had to use the bathroom again. I texted her asking if she had gone at the stadium and she said yes. She held it as long as she could. She texted me that she really had to go and she was about to pee herself. I told the teacher chaperone that my daughter had to pee. She told the group leader and he replied for her to hold it that we were almost there and I even heard the bus driver say no she can hold it. I had to show the chaperone the text messages of my daughter telling me she is crying and she is about to pee herself. At that point the teacher chaperone had to beg the group leader to let her use the bathroom. The bus driver said she can but an adult had to go with her to unlock the bathroom and lock it. I had found out that some students from the other bus also had to use the bathroom and they were allowed to use the bus bathroom. My daughter was very sad that she had to go through that. She was nervous of peeing herself in front of her peers. Another downside of the trip was the amount of money that was given for breakfast. Kids and I had to pay out of pocket for a breakfast sandwich and a drink, cause they only gave us $10. Tour directors need to have a backup plan in case of any type of crowds due to sports and political events. We happened to be in the city during the championship celebration for the Knicks, which really placed the kids in a bad environment, resulting in them being in an emotional state.
