When Tina and I first decided to move back to America, we had to choose between starting off in New Jersey or Miami. The decision to head back to the tri-state area had more behind it than Mets games and a love of street corner Hot Dogs. The focus of my American Dream has always been New York City. New York is the most incredible and vibrant place. I feel more alive just by being there. For as long as I can remember, I've been focused intently on heading towards the Empire State and sacrificed a lot of things to get there.
So where we live now is only a stopping off point, then. So how appropriate is it that we should be stopping off in the same place as thousands of other travellers to The Big Apple?
You see, New Brunwick (our local major city, to which North Brunswick is paradoxically three miles south) was originally an overnight coach stop between Philidelphia and New York (each one a day's ride away.) I think it's kind of appropriate that we settle here for a while before carrying on our own journey to NYC...
