I’m marking a virtual map of “places I’ve been” or “intend to travel,” and not having ever visited New York is a vacation crime. My closest encounter was an extended layover in Newark, with a sunny day view of the massive skyline. I suppose it’s never been top of my list of travel destinations (those are usually Boston and Seattle, again both to which I haven’t been).
Having a few friends now living in the city (or a train ride away), I need to fit this trip into my travel calendar. I used to have extended family in Brooklyn too — but for whatever reason, we were never invited to reunions and such. I know, some people tell me it’s expensive and overrated, but I don’t hear that from my friends who live there (only that wearing heels in New York, a ‘la Sex in the City is wholly insensible).
Regularly, I see cheap flights (usually on a last-minute basis) so it is not like the trip would be a complete New York City breaks my bank account sort of adventure.
Do you have a travel bucket list too? While I know there is much to do in NYC, I truly want to see the Statue of Liberty. She fascinates me. Perhaps that is just my statue fetish.
