I have known many people like you and me who have introduced their children to the new and strange, and I have no doubt that the kids are better off for it.

And then I know people who have never left their home town. Not to put them down, but they have missed out.

I hope to spend whatever is left of my life exploring….. and I hope that I can take my grandkids with me.

Good for you for what you did. It's not easy.
