DISQUS

Chad @ Sentient Money · 1 year ago

It's always the same. You never see all the sights where you live, because you always think, "I have time." I live in DC and I still haven't gone to all the Smithsonian museums, and I have only walked around the Mall once or twice in the 3 years I have been here.

Your comment on fruits and vegetables is one thing that may get remedied by the high price of oil. Soon it won't be cheaper to ship stuff half-way across the world.

Chad, I work at the Smithsonian and still haven't been to all the museums. Eek! How terrible is that.

Earlier Jeff and I made a list of things we wanted to do in DC before we left (we're not planning to return here after our RTW trip). I don't think we've accomplished much on the list, mainly because the hiking book took over. I'm quitting my job a bit before we leave so I'll have some time for the last minute things, but Jeff will go straight from work to Sweden. I've told him we need to play hooky a few times mid-week to be sightseers in our own city.

Christine-

I felt similarly before we moved from Puerto Rico. Despite the aspects of the island that drove me nuts, I suddenly thought "Maybe we shouldn't move because our neighbor Arturo is so nice" and "Why didn't I ever interview so and so?"

I noticed this about people when I moved to a suburb of Chicago many years ago. Many of the people in the town had never been into the city, only an hour train's ride away! As a newcomer to the town, my family and I went nearly every weekend... By the time we left 3 years later, we had been to the city far more times than most people in the town had been in their lives!

I think its a matter of getting accustomed to the proximity of these great places... until you see it through new eyes (like when moving in, as a tourist, or when leaving), it just seems like something you'll get to eventually.

When I left San Francisco for Southern California, I had the same emotions. I still have not been to Alcatraz, and I started to take in all of the little things I would miss about the great city I called home. I think it's a normal reaction to leaving a city you love.

You've also reminded me that I need to find a local crop-share program here. Been meaning to do it, and now am reminded!

Enjoy the next two weeks in Boston!

The day I was packing up my things to put in storage in NYC in preparation for a move to London Woody Allen was filming on my block. It was Halloween and a very tall man in a batman costume (tights and all) walked through a scene being shot completely oblivious and they had to stop filming. Everyone broke out laughing. I remember thinking where else on earth will something like this happen on my doorstep? But if I hadn't been packing my bags to leave I would have taken it all for granted--just another day in paradise :^)
All the best with your travels!

It is interesting how we desire to see and do everything in a land that is foreign to us. Yet, back home, we have an abundance of unique things to do also that we blow off because of cost, distance and time. That is natural, though. We get use to hearing about the things to do close to us that we take it for granted because we believe they've always been there then they'll always be there so one of these days we'll go. It's a good thing I already conquered Disney here at home. Off to Patagonia!

And I have to visit Boston one of these days... looks like fantastic city.

Fifteen days... LUCKY!

I spend five years living in London and managed to do surprisingly little in my time there. I don't regret anything and I expect I'll be back there at some point, but it's easy to take your time in a place for granted.

I really love that city and miss it but there's some much more out there to experience. Plus things that have been there fore hundreds of years aren't likely to be going anywhere anytime soon so I can see them next time. I've always been more a fan of experiences than sights anyways.

I'm quite keen on check out Boston one of these days. As a massive Blue Jays and baseball fan in general, I have to go boo the Sox at Fenway.
