The Catcher in the Rye--Where Would I go if I were Holden?

The main character in The Catcher in the Rye is Holden Caulfield, a boy who gets kicked out of a prep school and leaves it to wander around alone in New York for a few days.  If I were him, I probably wouldn't have gone to New York.  I know that he's pretty familiar with the area, but I would not feel at all confident enough to stay alone in New York City.  I wouldn't want to wander the streets alone or be by myself in an apartment room.  It would probably make me feel really sad and lonely, which is another reason that I would decide to go somewhere else(besides being not confident about staying alone).  I'm not sure where else I would really go if I were in Holden's place besides my house, even if it meant having to face my parents before they knew I was kicked out of school.  Because of my parents probably getting very angry at me when I got home, it might take me sort of long to get home, but I still definitely wouldn't stay in New York.  In my house at least I could be safe and with my family.
