_______ and the City?!?!?!?!

Walking the streets of New York City's lower Manhattan while nibbling on some of their finest pizza by the slice, talking about everyday life's problems and turmoils.....sounds glamorous, doesn't it? Can we ever really say that we have walked in someone else's shoes? Do we even want to? Ah yaaaaa!! If it would mean walking in someones $800.00 Jimmy Choo python print strappies. Oh yes! Even if they are sweat and blood soaked from all the burst blisters (oh wait those would be my shoes). All I want is a couple of days to see how the other half lives, a little eye opener and quite possibly a reality check. I am sure in our everyday lives that we deem "busy" and "chaotic", we really have no idea what a 24 hour day entails for a New Yorker.....but it is a adventure that I am willing to explore. Maybe someone should come have a little walk in MY shoes. My $80.00 Sketchers that I had to purchase with my Christmas money! You ready Crystal? Time to cash in the Dow Chemical Company shares and go on a little expedition.



Well I aint no Carrie Bradshaw, but I have some ideas and opinions. I'm an individual who has never been much for being entertained by T.V. until of course the era of "reality" T.V. came along. One might say, I'm a reality junky. I would give nothing more than to partake in a little race around the world (you should see me push aside the elderly and travelers with small children to board a plane), get dropped off on a deserted island filled with Puerto Rican men named Edgardo, and try my hand at a little fear factor. Well ok maybe not the fear factor, as I'm a little gaggish. Yup... can't even hold a paper clip between my lips and I am gagging, or eat a banana at work cause someone smelly might walk by. Anyway...




With all this said, I have decided to make some changes in my life, set out some new goals, work not to save, but to travel, travel, travel. So I am trading in my Old Navy hand bag for a Isabella Fiore tote and hittin' the streets of New York City. I want the world to be my teacher, learn from those who have walked in those bloody shoes!!! Everyone has to dream big, if you don't, you may be walking right by your "big" opportunity.

Heck, maybe I could start my own reality show, "The Blistered Travelers", "The Amazing Race, with a Stroller". Ok that's just silly now!

So Crystal, start with a little Autumn in New York?
