Well, its been a quiet year in Lake Wobegon.
Not really. Year 1 here in NYC has flown by. The year has been a whirlwind of activity. We were never lacking for something fun or worthwhile to do.
A frequent question is what was a highlight during Year 1. For Greg, one highlight was taking the frigid dip in the Atlantic Ocean during the annual Coney Island Polar Bear Club plunge on New Year's Day. For Susan, one highlight was seeing a celebrity on the street. Susan spotted an incognito Kevin Bacon not once, but twice: first on Madison Avenue and a month later on West 54th Street. Greg became a little suspicious after the second "coincidence". (Just kidding. Susan has so many highlights that it is hard to focus on one.)

We will miss New York and our longtime and new friends living here. We will certainly return for a visit. And perhaps we will modify the 10 Year Plan for a return stay here in NYC. Year 5 in NYC?
Whatever the future holds, we are thankful for the opportunity to have lived in the Big Apple for a year. It is a great city.
We will now take a short break from the 10 Year Plan. Not to worry. The plan continues in October when we arrive in Italy. We will spend 3 months in Florence and will use Florence as our base of operations as we travel around the country.
So, please stay tuned. We will be blogging again before you know it. Time flies.
Goodbye for now and ciao.
The 10 Year Plan
10 different cities over 10 years, one city per year

Sydney
Los Angeles
Stockholm
Dublin
Shanghai
Your first year sounds amazing. A little jealous of NYC, but since you're now venturing closer to me, maybe I'll run into you somewhere in the Euopean cities you plan to stay in ;)
