I have always felt my trip around-the-world should start here.
Heading off with a fresh image in my mind of America’s most enduring icon of freedom and hope should help me keep things in perspective as I’m circling the globe.
Dive Bar – a NYC Classic
Enjoying a beverage at Dive Bar, 732 Amsterdam and 96th. Empire Brewing Cream Ale. Extraordinarily drinkable, sweet & malty carries a wonderfully bready flavor. Attentive Irish-American waitress, be-spectacled Meghan, kept us entertained, our glasses filled and...Logistics!
I’ve spent the last nine months working into the wee hours almost every night, researching potential destinations, developing an itinerary, and working on a seemingly endless number of transportation and hotel arrangements.
And now, days away from leaving, I’m still wondering if I packed enough underwear.
