Wanderlust came calling again. Loudly. Too loud to ignore, so I gave in.

First I’m going here to visit my best friend, her husband and their little girl:

and then I’m going here to lose my mind:

According to the app I just downloaded, I’m leaving in 123 days, 11 hours, 16 minutes and 16 seconds. Or, 23 July. It doesn’t measure excitement levels but I’m sure it would be off the fricken charts.

*Edited to add: Natasha and Sarah have both warned me that New York will probably be as hot as balls in July (except they didn’t say balls because they are more ladylike than I) and even though sweating is my least favourite activity, I’ve chosen to ignore all good advice and go anyway. The deciding factor was a (roughly) $1500 flight price difference between July and the more desirable October. Can’t argue with that.

  1. Oh YAY! YAY, YAY! I am SO excited for you! It will be wonderful, even despite the hot-as-balls hotness (I would put up with it for a $1500 saving too!). Let me know if you want any info for SF or NY. And YAY! :)

  3. Ah!!! Two of my favorite cities (including the one I currently call home!). Please let me know if you want any tips/places to go/things to see in either one of those fabulous towns. Yes, NYC will be hot as balls in July (and it'll probably smell like bad garbage in some places too) but the city is magical any time of year and Central Park will always have some shade and a light breeze. You're going to love it! July in SF, on the other hand, could go either way. It could be lovely, warm and sunny or slightly foggy and chilly. Pack some layers. :)

  4. You're coming to the US! How exciting! :) Maybe if your travel plans allow, I can see you when you're in NYC?
