This interesting store, Flight 001 in Greenwich Village, sells some of the most interesting travel items. On Sunday, I went there to buy an adapter plug for Italian wall sockets for my laptop. Yeap, I'm heading to Rome in January for a little vacation. I guess that wish I made when I threw the 100 Lira coin (US$0.07) into the Trevi Fountain in 1980 might come true after all.So have you ever made a wish and it came true?

i bought luggage tags there! good spot. like some of the shops and cafe across the street as well. good picture! :) how about that snow? I was just there over the weekend and slogged through it like the rest of you all. but magical time in the city.
Wheehee! Rome!
I don't keep track of wishes, but I am a dreamer. There's always more to imagine.
Sure :)
I bought $100 worth of raffle tickets and "wished" I might win. Low and behold, I did. I won a restored 1964 Vespa GL at the Amerivespa Rally in Seattle last year (2007). And yes, I was absolutely stunned. I never win anything ... but apparently it was my turn :)

Have a wonderful Christmas Ming!

In answer to your question, ALL THE TIME! I've got some amazing angels who listen!
Merry Christmas Ming! And mahalo for your FB message!
It took me almost 40 years... but yeap I got my dream... I went to NYC as my husband's birthday present for my 40 b-day!
Ming, have fun in Italy and take in mind that this is another Italy... not the one that you got to see in '80... it is a whole new and different Italy.
love this store, they have the best blackout eye patches in the city! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Yes but I can't tell you.
Merry Christmas to ya.
Yes, but I, like Babooshka, had better not go into details! :-)
If I traveled anymore, I would check it out...
Take me with you Ming!
Ahh, your post from today (as I'm posting this comment) makes sense now...you're in Rome! Lucky YOU!
Yep, I've made a wish. When I was 10? Or 9? Or 8 perhaps? Young anyway...I was at my grandparent's place waiting for my dad to come and pick me up. He was supposed to be at say, 4pm. I was sitting on the front lawn waiting for him since 3:30, and it was 6pm and he still hadn't came. My little 10/9/8 year old mind was worried sick, so I saw the first star, "First star, first light..." etc and wished for him to come. I looked back down the street and saw nothing. Looked back at the start and more stars had come out. Sad now, I looked down the street again and I kid-you-not, he was coming. Fluke? Maybe. Am I going to doubt it? No.
