The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"
Was wondering where you have traveled to.

It doesn't have to be out of the country, just some place you like to visit. I know Krista has been out of the country a couple of times...once, to see moi!
been to over half the states in the US, but I would have to think about it and make a list. Most of the states from Texas north and over to the East Coast, all the way up from Florida. I have never been out of the country, not for lack of trying.
Scheduling overseas trips is bad luck for me. I have had two trips scheduled for Ireland with England and Scotland, and added to the last trip. Ended up hurting my back and couldn't walk for months, days before the first one, and was in the hospital on life support when the other one started.
Had a cruise to the Bahamas and one to Greece and Italy booked, but my husband ended up in the hospital fighting for his life each time it was time to board. One for emergency open heart surgery (widow maker) and the other for emergency lung surgery because his lungs were filling up with blood.
I was planning a trip with my oldest grandson to Germany, Austria, and Paris, and trying to also go to Ireland, Scotland, and England on that trip. He ended up having an accident and had to have surgery. By the time he could travel, he was interested in girls instead of castle architecture s we didn't even get around to buying tickets that time.
We were going to a wedding in Costa Rica but the bride and groom ended up breaking up a week before the wedding because she caught him sleeping with a friend of hers.
My dad and I always wanted to go to Australia. I had a trip planned, but before it happened, my dad got pneumonia and passed away.
I have had several trips to Canada and Mexico planned, but something always happened then, too. I have given up on leaving this country. Planning a trip or buying tickets seems to be a recipe for disaster to befall me.
