The time has finally come. Tomorrow, we will pack our small amount of belongings into two large duffel bags and in the early hours before sunrise we will pass by the city that never sleeps one last time (for a long while, anyway) and be on the road heading south.
It's been two years since we purchased our house in, Florida. Two years of constant back and forth between NY and FL due to jobs and financial responsibilities. Two years of never really knowing when the right time would arrive to allow us to finally settle in our new home. Well friends, we can finally say that the time has come and tomorrow, we travel home!
"Home" what a warm, humble and comforting word that is. When we think of home we think of a place of security, freedom, deeds, comfort, and environment. It is kept in our memories as an ideal one, even if it is not so perfect. Home to us is culture, values, the place where you live, friends, relatives, neighbors, cuisine, personal objects and community. When we think about home, we think of our childhood. The joyful moments within our household that we were fortunate to grow up in are deeply planted in our memories. It is all a perfect reflection of what we see when we think of our own home. A home that embodies strong values and kindness. What does home mean to you?
There will be so many things that we will miss about, New York. New York is one of those places that when you walk down a street you will hear several languages being spoken; it is a melting pot of cultures. You can explore countries just by visiting different neighbourhoods.
Oh, and you know this is coming... the food! New York City has some of the best food in the world; you can find any cuisine. Even when we have traveled abroad people have questioned how we know their cuisine so well?!
We will also miss it's seasons; you can be at some of the worlds best beaches in the summer or be skiing down high top mountains in, Lake Placid in the winter. We will miss you New York! We will remain forever grateful for the lessons we have learned, the opportunities that were given and the monumental memories we have created with friends and family over the years in this beautiful state.
We would love for you to follow along on our new journey and discover new sites with us. You can follow our YouTube channel and Instagram @thepiastuckpassports .
Love, The Piastuck's.
