Greetings from New York!
The decision has been made, the travel guide bought, the facebook messages sent: I'm going to Europe! For those of you interested in how this all came to pass, I'll have you know it began with a dream and a copy of THE DRIFTERS.
Though life is nothing but sugar fairies and rainbows and the occasional eviction in New York, I've decided to leave it all on a whim to see a different side of the world. With no real plan, or idea of what I'm going for I embark happily and wholeheartedly with a knapsack and an endless supply of faith. Don't let my dazzling words fool you - I am scared sh!tless. I am not fooling myself into believing this will be an endless vacation. I'm ready for hard times, struggle, starving days, sleepless nights, idle time, lots of confusion and times of complete and utter despair. In contrast to the priceless and reconfirming moments of arriving at the beach in Malaga or meeting friends for a beer at Oktoberfest and settling into the Kibbutz in Israel, I think I can handle it and frankly, I can't wait!!
My tenative departure date is the first week of September. This last month of American life will be filled with a lot of running around, a wedding in california, a few grand birthday party celebrations, last minute New York thrills (including Mets Games, Broadway shows and a trip to the Bronx Zoo) and tying up loose ends. I will be out of my apartment by September. (Anyone looking to move to Queens?)
I hope you will share my excitement with me as I take this brave step into the unknown. As the poets of Whitesnake so greatly sang: I know what it means to walk the lonely street of dreams so here I go again on my own. Walking down the only road I've ever know. Like a drifter I was born to walk alone. Here I go. Here I go again. {haha}
Fear not the dissapearance of my physical pressence.. I am with you in spirit and internet. I will try to be as up to date with my emailing, myspacing, facebooking and blogging as possible. As soon as I get to Europe and pick a "home town" I will get a mobile phone and pass on that information.
With love, peace and light,
classy (a)broad.
