day dreaming

every now and then i have crazy ideas and get the travel bug. I have a list of places i would love to visit before i die. The biggest on this list would be Antarctica. I hope I get to go. An even bigger dream is space travel, but that wont be in my life time...and even if it was, it would be waaay too expensive.

So last week was hanging with my son and another idea popped into my head. Why can't we go live in New York for a year or two. Myles could get a transfer...We've always wanted to go to New York. But then the whole 9/11 happened and put that idea to bed for a while.

If we did, then what year would that be? How disruptive would that be for the kids education? It would have to be before they went to school which means in the next couple of years. But then I would miss out on crucial years in my nieces and nephews lives. Especially the older two and the youngest one!

I still haven't ruled it out. But thought maybe we could just go there for a couple of months and explore the place. That way myles gets to spend time with us rather than at work.

I'm such a dreamer! But dreaming did get me to London, Paris, Jerusalem, the Serengeti, the Disney castle in Germany with the impossible name Neuw...stein, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, etc. So will happily keep dreaming :)

WOW...that would be awesome if you came to NYS!!!
But, may I suggest: living away from NYC would be SOOOO much better for you with children. NYC is wickedly expensive, even the outlying suburbs. We live north of the city in the Albany NY area....so going to NYC is just about 2 hour train ride, if that. If you are going to visit NY, stay somewhere in the capital region!! and then you could meet me and Lil!!

most definitely wld look you both up!! It's far away so we must stay in contact till then. And will get lots more tips from you closer to the time. By then it will be even more expensive.

Will copy your comment to my new york file.
