RE: Memory's Vault: The Suitcases Were Never Far Away...
I also envy you and Mrs Denmarkguy for having the ability to travel.
I can too,
NOW
but I am so reticent, so reluctant to 'step outside my comfort zone' at this time in my life (I'm almost 65).
still waiting for health issues to pass so I can perhaps
I'm still not that big a fan of travel... although I do really enjoy day trips. We don't actually travel much due to work obligations and the expense of it. I'm knocking on 60 and also on the reality that I may never get to retire... so we take it pretty much one day at a time...
I, on the other hand, have never had a "Vacation" where you go somewhere, not to work, not to a family reunion, wedding nor funeral, somewhere you can just go sightseeing, exploring ancient ruins, study history in the first person...
I want to do some of those things before I get too old to be ABLE to do them and (even worse) REMEMBER having done them
65 used to seem ancient, I always said I'd live to be 120 (who knows, still might) but my years of drug and alcohol addiction and abuse have probably made that a very unrealistic possibility
Well, our last "do nothing" vacation was in 2015, and before that it had been more than a decade since we'd taken truly "off" for longer than a weekend. I realize a good bit of that has to do with being self-employed...
Yep, and I have been more or less self employed since I left the military in 1980.
I worked for several years as the head breakfast cook at Hardee's (Fast food), but that had no benefits and it was a long time ago.
Good morning @denmarkguy
