~Travel should be mandatory

New York City was probably the best trip I have ever taken, apart from maybe my honeymoon. It was incredible not only because of the once in a lifetime experiences...like ice skating in central park, going backstage at the NYC ballet Nutcracker, hanging out at the Estee Lauder Suite, and attending an ABC Christmas party...but also just being a part of such a large force of people. Moving around as just one in those millions, yet feeling so close to the people around you, made me want to leave small town Tennessee and play in the city for a year or two!
