There's no place like home...

There's no place like home...

No I'm not Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, but I do wish I could escape for a while.

I have been so busy with work and family that I - once again - feel like life is slipping right by me.

I've said before that I want to travel and I even told myself that in 2012 I would do more of it. I started the year out right. We traveled and then came home - and once we pulled into the driveway I believed..."there's nothing like coming home..."

Agree?


Only my problem is that my ass has been glued to a chair - work or driving - since I returned and I'm going a little stir crazy. I forgot what "coming home" feels like. Right now it feels like a bunch of cluttered blocked energy in laundry, housework, work and LAUNDRY!

I need to breathe in some different energy - I need to breathe in nature's life.

So today while I sit on my ass and daydream for a few minutes I will share with you my first "life" destinations.



I want to leave and experience Cape Cod and all it's glory. I want to stay in all 15 towns and experience each one differently. I want to stay at a light house and feel the cool ocean air while watching the most beautiful sunset ever.




I want to leave and experience the mountains in Colorado. I want to sit in my bathing suit on this roof top jacuzzi while sipping wine and gazing out over the snow covered mountain tops. I want to breathe in that fresh cold air.




I want to leave and experience the Las Vegas strip. I don't necessarily need to gamble, but I want to sight-see and inhale all the fast moving energy and luck that Vegas offers. I want to walk into every hotel and stare...




I want to leave and experience New York at it's finest. I want to go to the opera, a Broadway show and sit in a deli at 4am an enjoy a pizza pie and some wine. I want to laugh and experience the energy on Times Square and maybe ride on the subway.




I want to leave and experience this Japanese Zen garden in Portland Oregon and then maybe go hiking. I want to see the "other" ocean from a 5-star hotel window while sitting by the fireplace naked with Mr. Strong. (The kids will have their own suite!)




I want to leave and experience this castle in St.Croix Virgin Islands. I want to experience the food and wine and history of this island. I want to come back to my 5-star hotel condo and lay in a hammock until the sun rises talking and making sand castles with the kids.




I want to leave and experience St. Thomas Virgin Islands and all it's magical energy. I want to snorkel and lay with my feet in the water while my body soaks up the sun. I want to eat fresh fruit and drink wine while the kids take naps on the private beach. I want to escape technology and live in the moments of this beautiful place.



 I want to leave and experience. I want to escape and live. I want to discover and never forget.

I want...

I need...

I will...

I have too. In order to remember what it feels like to believe again "there's no place like home."

And you know the best part? No passports needed!
