I wouldn't feel comfortable if I didn't know what I was going to be doing out there, and I have sort of had it in my head that I will figure out what to do with myself after the summer that my family gets home from the Mission, so if I made a move this year it wouldn't be until the end of the year. Thank you! <br /><br />Oh yes, and Amy, you ARE a genius. Want to be my sidekick? You wouldn't have to do all of the crazy stuff, but someone has to provided clever commentary while I am otherwise engaged.

So I did. Italian.

An amazing space is opening up in a splendid NYC apartment...which a friend of mine is actually moving into.

Get TLC to make your life a reality tv show and sponsor all of these trips. I will then subscribe to you and watch your life on TV. THEN you can win your own award for "only non-lame reality tv show" and you won't have to wait for your brother to invite you to an awards show. <br /><br />I'm a genius.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650216689414959056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869868915719059394.post-24549285416487163282010-04-27T10:23:37.434-06:002010-04-27T10:23:37.434-06:00Kirst, thank you!

That is exactly why I needed you all to review this list for me. It has been added. I would LOVE to be included on a Briggs trip to PEI next year- I just need to sort out how I will earn the annual leave from work to have the time to go there AND go on a two week Greece trip! Ah well, guess I'll quit my job. Maybe I will just buy a one-way ticket to Greece and see how it goes ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01126217237062506027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869868915719059394.post-34934712334020751902010-04-27T10:01:38.863-06:002010-04-27T10:01:38.863-06:00Can I be invited to all these places too?

Cherry blossoms are indigenous to ‘East Asia’ which included Japan, Korea and parts of China, so that is what I changed it to. <br /><br />Brian, you are SOOO right! I guess for some reason I have always thought that Boston and DC would be a better fit for me in a long term (as opposed to vacation) capacity, but I suppose the fact that I have never yet prioritized going to Boston and have visited NY far more times than DC… should tell me something ;)<br /><br />Jess, an excellent suggestion, the Fjords have been added. <br /><br />Mom, you are certainly invited, and though it is not at all a requirement, it would most definitely be appreciated if hotels were on your dime ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01126217237062506027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869868915719059394.post-15491792084536218142010-04-27T01:19:49.255-06:002010-04-27T01:19:49.255-06:00I love these lists - great memories, fun goals.
