That is me singing - lol. So next Friday - I am heading to NYC to spend the long weekend with dh. He thought it would be fun to just gad about the city and see what mischief we can find. I used to go visit him in the city 2-3 times a year . . . he'd be working and I'd be spending way too much money shopping. The last time I went was the Aug. 17, 2010 - Rooney's b-day, I've never gone back - I'd rather be home with him and now Stuart too.
So 6 weeks ago I get the air ticket, line up the puppy sitter AND then I realize that the 10 year 9/11 Anniversary is this year. I'll be there until 9/6. Call me cautious but I am nervous about going now. We have discussed getting a small apartment in NYC before so that dh could stop living in hotels during the week but we've always nixed that idea - mostly for monetary reasons (his work pays for the hotel - they wouldn't pay for the apartment) but also because I don't feel safe there. NYC is our main target for terrorism, even before Washington D.C., as it would take out more people. Whenever I am there it is always in the back of my mind - I stay on high alert. I'll never get the images of 9/11 out of my mind and of all those people running madly through the streets. I've bee down to the site and it just knocks the breath right out of your body.
We have reservations at some new restaurants, tickets to a show, I'll actually have dh attention for once so it will be fun but am I being crazy to be nervous about going?

I don't think you're being crazy, but I wouldn't let your fears stop you from going. I know it's a cliche, but those responsible for 9/11 would be delighted to hear that you don't feel safe.
The week you're planning to go, there will probably be more security than any other time you could have chosen. Go and have a wonderful time. Celebrate your freedom to do so. :)
