I'm sure I will be feeling quite a bit of raw emotion even though we will have started out to our trip to Venice for our 25th anniversary.
I decided (I say I because I didn't consult Bob first because I didn't want him flipping out about how many days we would be gone) decided since we would need to fly through NYC, that I would finally spend at least one night there. I've only flown through and I was determined to see Ground Zero.
It may seem like a morbid idea to start off our trip remembering the worst event in American history, but this was our opportunity and I wanted, no I needed to see Ground Zero. I can not and will not ever forget that horrible day and the months following.
I expect we will both be a bit sick to our stomachs afterward, but the next morning we'll take a ferry ride past the Statute of Liberty and we will be fully aware of what a great country we are blessed to live in.
Then Monday night it's off to Venice where we will stay 3 nights before heading out on our cruise hitting the Greek Isles and Montengro. I've only seen picture, but I've wanted to see them for years now.
Wish us a farewell and a Bon Voyage.
Happy Mother's Day.

Have a great trip
Ground Zero is a testament to the world that the people of New York, cleaned up the debris from The World Trade Center in 9 months and totally rebuilt their lives! Don't ever forget that. There's nothing to be sad about. We New Yorkers move forward!
Have a wonderful trip.
If he doesn't want to go, give me a call. I would love to see the Greek Isles. But I doubt he will stay home, considering it's your anniversary... but just in case...
Ground Zero is an incredibly emotional place. My husband and I went to New York last December and decided to head down there. I didn't even make it inside before I started crying.
If you have the time, I highly recommend going through the museum. It's somber and inspiring at the same time.
I hope you have a wonderful anniversary trip.
