After coming back from Canada we spent over two weeks home in NY getting ready for the next few months on the road. Vlad, Gabi and I flew out of JFK airport to Bergen, Norway, on the evening of Independence Day. We were really excited to leave that evening and hoped to see fireworks from the air. And we did, although they looked quite small from the plane. Still, we felt like we left NY with a bang! Not sure if it was the larger windows on the new Dreamliner aircraft or the city looking extra festive on 4th of July, but the view of New York City after the take off was spectacular and breathtaking. We were all in an awe. Since the plane was not full, all three of us got to sit by windows. Looking at the beautifully lit NYC sprinkled with fireworks was the best way to leave our home, especially after feeling very blue all day. Let the adventure begin!
