I have always had the bug to travel but for years this has not happened for me. When I got married my husband did not share my desire. Then the children came and there was no money. Later, I went back to school and became a Nurse thinking then we would have the money to do something even thought we were also putting children through the big money pit I will call college. Unfortunately my husband passed away at the young age of 51 and leaving me a widow at age 48 with a family to support on my own.
So far this means I have only gotten as far as Tulsa, Oklahoma. However, determination is starting to set in and I really have the bug to get out there and see the world! But first....my daughter's wedding this October. After that, who knows. Of course, once again there will be that issue of money and the need to save so that I can achieve my first trip without my husband to somewhere I have never been before.
Which brings me to my next stumbling block.....traveling alone. most deals seem to be centered on travel for two. I'm really not sure I want to try to get someone to go with me on my adventure. One, they may not want to go where I want to go, and two I would have then coordinate their schedule with mine in order to work out all the details. After 28 years of marriage and 4 children I think I am ready to just worry about my schedule for awhile.
So let the adventure begin sometime after October 18th. Time will tell.......
