How can you be homesick for a place you’ve never been?

I was just watching an episode of “Gene Simmons: Family Jewels” in which Gene and crew visit London. I’m just catching little bits and pieces of the sights in the background and it’s making me pine like crazy. How can you miss somewhere you’ve never gone to begin with? At the risk of sounding melodramatic, my heart positively aches to go there. It must be done, and soon. I can’t wait ten years or more…..I don’t even want to wait five. And yet the costs of taking a family of five across the pond must be astronomical. It would be easier and more feasible to consider just myself and Robert going but I don’t know that I would want to make a trip of that magnitude without the kids (plus who would watch them even if I’d consider it?) Madalyn and John-Zachary want to go there nearly as badly as I do, anyway.
I guess I should start a savings account. And who knows what will happen in the future? Perhaps we could be closer to being able to swing it than I think.

  1. I get the same feeling whenever I see footage of Gary, Indiana. The crime, the pollution, the desolate, miles of despair…
    Someday.

  2. Ditch the whole lot of ‘em and come spend a few days with me! The offer’s only good for one more year, but it’s a genuine one until I’m outa here!
