Day 365: New York City
Exactly a year to the day since we flew out of Newark Int’l, we arrived safe and sound at JFK. It’s…over.
Even though we slept the entire flight, red-eyes never leave you totally rested, so today was spent alternately napping, catching up with Igor’s parents (who are THRILLED that we are back and no longer need to anxiously monitor our GPS Spot) and slowly getting our lives back in order (activating Lindsay cell phone, closing hacked bank accounts, unpacking a normal supply of underwear). Yeah, starting today, our lives are not going to be very blog-worthy anymore.
Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NYC. AKA, “Home”
Before we officially sign off from this daily diary, we just wanted to reflect on the amazing, unique and unforgettable journey we’ve had. Surprisingly, it DIDN’T go by all that fast. Almost every single day was a mini-adventure in itself – it feels like we’ve packed a lifetime of experiences into 365 days. We were so blessed that we had the time, money, health and family support to spend a year on the road.
Now that we’re back? Not gonna lie – job hunting is probably not going to be fun. Nor apartment hunting. Nor the myriad other grown-ups responsibilities we’ve been avoiding. BUT…we’re going to do all those things in the GREAEST FUCKING CITY IN THE WORLD. We’ve been around the world, and can very authoritatively say that New York City kicks ass. We’re looking for to the next chapter of our lives, right here. We’ve found our forever home.
