I knew I should have waited to do a link post because it wasn't what I really wanted to do anyway. So then, I went to go change it so that maybe I could just re-use it at a later date and time but ended up deleting it.
With literally one click. There wasn't even a "Are you really really really sure you want to do this?" option. Oh well.
But this all brings me to something I'm freaking out about a little bit. And I am aware that everything will be perfectly fine.
My husband wants to come home for the weekend. Not this Labor Day weekend. But next weekend. When he visits, he has to leave on Friday's since he can't really miss work. Next Friday is September 11th.
To this day, I still have a difficult time thinking about the tragedy of this day. For our 1 year anniversary, we went to New York. We stayed at the Embassy Suites that is located on the opposite corner of where the WTC was located. When I booked the hotel, I did not know this. We could see the gigantic hole from our room. When we wanted to head out and do something, we had to walk by that site every single time.
You couldn't not think about it. And for me, I couldn't even get my mind to fully grasp that I was standing in a place that the year before I had watched on television.
And while I am forever grateful for the protection this country receives from our military, and those who work at the airport, it's still difficult not to let your mind go there when that day comes around. Personally, I don't think I could bring myself to fly on that day.
Would you be able to do it?
Also, after researching airfares, how are any airlines other than Southwest still in business? 700 bucks for a roundtrip ticket?!

Just stopping by from SITS! Great Blog!
Happy Wednesday! I visited NY, NY several months after 9-11 and the destruction was unimaginable. I completely know what you mean. I'm not sure I will ever fly on this day again.
Come over and check out my 5 DAYS of GIVE-A-WAYS!

I can only imagine how those living in NY must feel. It kills me to think about it even though I watched it on tv from far, far away. Flying on that day would be like flying any of the other 364 days, but I certainly wouldn't want to.
That is a tough one. I say go, give the day a new memory.
I would have a hard time flying on Sept. 11th...Shit I have a hard time flying anyday...Horrible anxiety! So don't take my opinion to heart.
stoppin by from SITS- saw your comment and had to come say hi!
I don't know if I could fly on Sept. 11th...actually, i don't think I ever could. I still get nervous to fly on any other day. It would be weird to be standing there in the place you were watching on tv... hope you were able to still enjoy your ny trip!
it's still hard isn't it?...I do hear though...that flying on Sept 11th is actually safer, because everyone is subconciously even mor aware then on any other day....maybe that will help...
My birthday is September 11th and I can't help but think about what happened that day every year.
I would fly....you can't let those bastards stop you from living your life.
We are flying home from Cancun that day, I plan on a little prayer and taking off, they tried to make us scared and take away our freedoms that day and we won't allow it, let him fly and you and Nico can have your big man around: )
I've never been to NYC but I can only imagine how you must feel!
What a great blog. I'm not-so-momalicious either! haha!
Found you through SITS! :)
I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when it happened. Such a horrible amount of evil in this world. At first I was shocked and then as the evening came I started crying. I don't think I was myself again for months. I don't blame you for not wanting to fly. I haven't since that day and really don't plan on it if I can help it. Driving is the way for me. Thank goodness I got all my adventure spirited travels done when I was younger. I just love home these days and I know that makes me sound 90, but I can't help it.
