previously written: You know what, I have never been scuba diving, or even snorkeling for that matter. I have asthma and have never been able to go when the opportunity has presented itself to me... It is so funny that we get so complacent (sic?) with those regions that we come to know and never truly "explore" them. I have said to my hubby on a number of occasions that it is ironic that people travel from all over the world to visit what we literally have on our doorstep, and are yet to properly explore ourselves.
Too true. I live an hour's drive from NYC and a 2 minute walk to a bus stop that will take me to the local train station. I have lived in Connecticut since 1988 and have probably been in NYC a dozen to 18 times. At least half were going to the Photo plus show at the Javits. I've been to Madison Square garden and Yankee Stadium 1x each. I've yet to visit Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, etc. Butch Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself. Hermann Hesse (Demian)
