Big News: We're moving back to New York!
After two years of living in Prague, it is time for us to move back to New York. We move back on March 1, 2009.
This news brings me mixed emotions. On the one hand, I'm very excited to move back to New York. It's the best city in the world, there's never a dull moment and we have plenty of friends there.
At the same time, I'm sad to leave Prague. We've had a GREAT time here during the last two years. I had a very rewarding job, met some good friends, we lived an excellent life and got to travel to a ridiculous amount of European cities. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.
The big loser in this move is my dog Bauer. The guy lives like an absolute king in Prague. He gets to run off leash 3x a day in any one of the huge parks that surround our house. He has full access to our second bedroom. He can go on the subway/trams with us and can also join us in any restaurant. And, finally, he's fallen in love with more than a few females in Prague. His life in New York is not nearly as spectacular... although I'm sure he'll be excited to see his friends Casey, Shellie and Arlene again.
But, fear not loyal reader. Just because we are moving back to New York does not mean that this blog is ending. Far from it.
First off, we still have 7 weeks left in Prague and I have a lot to write about. We still have some blog-worthy trips coming up; R is going to Arizona for work next week and we have a big ski trip planned in the Italian Alps in February. I also want to write more about my experiences in Prague and Europe from a reflective standpoint now that I know our journey is coming to an end.
Secondly, I plan to keep up this blog once I move back to New York. Truth be told, I kind of like writing it. And, since I may very well never have children and have built up a lot of self-proclaimed wisdom in my lifetime, this blog is one of my few outlets to share this wisdom with the rest of the world. (Just as an example, here are some of the rules I have learned in life: Unless you get into Harvard or Yale, go to a college in a warm weather location. If someone asks if you would like a slice of lemon with that, always say yes. Lotion makes everything better. Etc.)
The only thing I'll have to change is the name of this blog. Running a blog called "Living in Prague" will make little sense when I am, in fact, NOT living in Prague.
I have to run now. The movers are already here packing up our apartment. It takes 6-8 weeks to ship this stuff across the ocean and time is of the essence.

Your mother wants the gift of grandchildren. Pass on your talent, gifts and wisdom to the blessings of children. You think you love Bauer? Just imagine your own flesh & blood. NO, your mother did not put me up to this, we just want to see more pictures on her desk.
I just discovered your blog and have enjoyed what I've read of it. Thank you!
My husband and I are moving to Prague in August and bringing our dog. Could you write more about your dog, and any advice about flying with him overseas? My dog is also too big to fly in the cabin and it scares me to put him down there with the luggage!! Thanks!
