Gateway to History

April 16, 2007

My cousin arrived at New Jersey, USA Friday. We got a call from him yesterday and how I envy him as he was telling us all about that wonderful city! More and more, my passion for travelling is being rekindled.

My imagination took on new heights as he told us about going to ellis island and seeing the statue of liberty. He was gushing about how millions of immigrants from around the world began their new lives in America. He said he felt like he was one of them lol! My cousin has the same wierd immagination as I do! We re both usually like that when we travel. We learn about the history of the place and we imagine being there during that time. Makes travel more interesting don’t you think?

Anyway, we sort of burnt the wires as he told us plenty of more stories about Jersey City. Talk about excitement! In a span of 2 days he was able to visit and explore a lot of places there. The Liberty Science Center, The Waterfront, The Central Railroad Terminal and lots more! By the time he ended his travel stories, I was on the verge of holding up a bank so I could get some money to go there instantly! I am insanely jealous of his trip! (Insert drool here!), aww how I wish I was there, taking in all the sights with my trusty camera. I swear, once I am able to travel, this blog will become a travel blog of sorts lol! Oh and if you were as curious as I was about Jersey City, this is a great site with wonderful information.

So with that said, let me leave you with a sort of mini-travel-meme:

1. If you had all the money in the world, where would you travel (somewhere you haven’t been to before)?
2. What about that place (/those places) draws you?
3. When you travel, what is your usual purpose (i.e. shop, learn about the history, learn about culture, pure R &R, etc)?
4. Give one travel tip. :)

Okay, so I am tagging Mia, Amore and Ate Jen but feel free to answer the meme if you want. I’d appreciate it if you’d leave a comment with the link to your answers . Who knows, one of you might be in for a small surprise! :)

  4. Like you, I love to travel! Lately I haven’t been because of Kail, but I’m sure, when he’s old enough, he’ll also be like his jetsetting, globe-trotting mama! ;)
