New York City, NY…I AM HOME!

After 4 1/2 months I have returned to New York post Hurricane “Sandy”…luckily all at my apartment in Chelsea is ok! My roof deck garden didn’t fare as well, but it’s far from a disaster!

I departed on this journey June 26 and covered 25 countries:
USA
Spain
Greece
Turkey
Malta
Croatia
Montenegro
Italy
Czech Republic
Austria
Hungary
Slovakia
Poland
France
United Kingdom
Qatar
South Africa
Samoa
Fiji
Vanautu
New Caledonia
Australia
Indonesia
Singapore
Japan

One of my saving graces and best investments was my unlocked IPhone I picked up in Hong Kong used! This unlocked phone allowed me to buy prepaid SIM cards in each country so I could always be connected and utilize lifesaving travel apps and tools like GPS as I walked around unknown cities! Doing this also saved me thousands of dollars in roaming charges that Verizon or AT&T charge travelers!

Jet lag has taken hold, but I still adjusting to being back home…Where to next??
