What to do, what to do

Sunday arvo and I am bored. Had a great day out at Southbank but now I am home and not really wanting to do anything. Don't know what I want to look up online, don't want to read or play games.. I want to be in NYC.. I am planning, planning, planning and I want to be there now... thats all I can think about..

Well that and my trip to Melbourne & Chch in November.... yay I can't wait to go home. I was home at Easter but only for about 4 days. This time I will be home for 10 days and I plan to go up to Nelson & over to the Coast too. Can't wait. I am so over Brisbane right now. It doesn't inspire me anymore. Its just the same old thing every day and I am getting jack of it.

I want to see more of this world! I think after going to the UK last year, I really do realise that there is a big wide world out there waiting for me and I just want to be out there seeing it.

Time for me to stop with the planning and start with the doing!

Its so gonna happen

My niece was talking today about visualisation and I thought it was a great idea. You want something so you get a photo or make a list and visualise it every day. So what did I get?

Yep... a map of New York City. Ok so it might not be the most accurate map, but it gives you the idea, plus its MASSIVE and it sits right behind my pc so I see it every single day and can visualise myself walking up Seventh Avenue!!

I have other stuff that I want to visualise too but I think I will start with this and just go with it for now.

The Plans

Ok, so I'm in planning mode once again... this time it is NYC in my sights. Well its been in my sights for a while but I am hopefully going to make it a reality in November 2012...

Why then you ask? Well a couple of reasons... 1) so I can save!!!! (best intentions!); and 2) coz November 2012 will be my 4oth birthday... yip thats right... I will officially be middle aged next year! Man that is a scary thought.

So what better way to ring in the middle age than to be in NYC. Currently looking at accommodation etc. Did you know how hard it is to find a decent place in NYC... they don't have apartments as such like other places and if you do look at booking at an apartment you could possibly be breaking the law! So I looks like a hotel for me... ok so next thing - do you know who bloody expensive NYC is???? For 8 nights I am looking at at least $2000 for a decent place in Midtown. Bloody oath! I mean, for 10 days in London it was cheap and we had an apartment! Admittedly it was a little out of town but even when I was looking closer to the city it wasn't that expensive.

But hey... NYC Baby!!! So may things to see & do.. I wanted to stay a bit longer but it would have ended up being too expensive... actually what I really wanted to do is have 16 days in London/UK and 10 day in NYC but it would have ended up costing me about $10,000! I don't really care how long I go for as long as I am able to stand at the top of the Empire State Building on my 40th birthday.. I could go for 1 day for all I care... that is my goal tho..
