Final Flight

The final flight of the forgotten space shuttle on it's journey to it's new home. There is no better place for this magnificent ship to spend the rest of it's life than in the worlds greatest city. She will call New York home from now on as she comes to sleep on the deck of the USS Intrepid. My next trip to New York will definitely include a trip to the  Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum to see the Enterprise. A space shuttle on top of an aircraft carrier how can you go wrong with that. They better keep an eye on me because I might be tempted to sail both of them back to Vancouver.

Sunset in New York

I love this photograph, it is one of my favourites. I am impressed that I took it. It is the best picture that I have ever taken. I think it captures the beauty and essence of the city. It is New York without all the busyness most people are accustomed too. Anyone who has been there can look at this picture and hear the sounds of New York. The crowds of people shuffling alone the streets. The cars passing by, sirens in the distance and the constant honking of horns. It is something I have grown to miss. I don't know how but the never ending noise of New York is soothing. They make you feel like you are in the middle of something important. I love the peacefulness of Burnaby where I live but sometimes the silence gets lonely. I look at this picture and it all comes rushing back to me. I am transported to this moment where time seemed to stand still as the world around me went rushing by,.

Maybach

Maybach's are such nice cars. They are quickly becoming one of my favourites. Part of the appeal is the rarity of them. Ferrari's, Maserati's, Bentley's and Lamborghini's are nice cars but they are a dime a dozen. I know that sounds absurd to say about cars that cost six figures but I see them driving around every day. Maybach's on the other hand are harder to find. I have only ever seen two and I had to go all the way to New York to set my eyes on this beauty. I stopped for a good fifteen minutes just to drool over him. My friend was getting upset at me because he doesn't get how magnificent this machine is. It is a work of art and it's fitting that I saw it after just leaving the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It easily could be a display in there. But then again what it has to offer would be lost on the majority of people. It has been nearly two years since my last sighting of one. I think it is time for me to go on a hunt for one.

Crocs

Yesterday I got new Crocs. It has been awhile since I have had a pair. I wore my last Crocs so much that they just fell apart. Well now I have a brand new orange pair and I love them so much. Who knows if I will ever take them off. This pair has a lot to live up too. My last pair took me everywhere. Seattle, Portland Las Vegas and of course New York. I am excited to see where these ones will get to go. So now there are color changing Crocs. So far they are only in kid sizes but they are so cute. As soon as I saw the baby ones I knew that I would have to eventually get them for you to hang in your car. They will go well with your yellow ones and one day I will get to see one of your little ones running around in them. And hell yea I rock my Crocs with socks!

Our list

Today we added a few new things to our list of things to do. We have been making this list for awhile now and I think we should start knocking it off. It may not be as glamorous as other lists people have made but it is full of the fun things we both like. Today we decided we are going to Churchill Manitoba of all places. I know it doesn't sound like a great place to visit but they have Polar Bear tours. It sounds like so much fun. You get on a bus and drive out to wear all the bears like to hang out and just hope they don't decide to eat you. I have always loved Polar Bears and dream about having my own as a pet one day. But until then we will go see them. I hope to be lucky enough to get my own photo like this. They are the largest land carnivores on earth and to see one this close would take my breathe away.

Of course New York is already on our list. Ever since I went I have always wanted to take you. Show you around the city I fell in love with and have you fall in love with it too. We would go everywhere and see everything. The Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bride, Central Park, Ground Zero and the new Freedom Tower. and of course go to Yankee stadium to watch your beloved Yankees play. New York will take a few visits just because of its size and everything there is to do there. Maybe one day we can buy ourselves a condo and live part of the year there.

Our next place we added today is Vermont to visit the Ben & Jerry's factory. We have talked about a trip down south to just try all the flavors but today we actually decided to just go to Vermont and the home of the worlds best ice cream. That is a trip that we will com back from with a few extra pounds on our tummy's but boy will it be fun. Just imagine tasting all 312 flavors. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

I can't wait to start traveling with you. I'm just not sure the world is ready for the trouble we are going to get into. Mom and Dad better be ready to come rescue us.
