It was also a decade of 10 Cruises, including Hawaii, Alaska, and the Mediterranean, domestic trips to Vegas, Denver, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Antonio, New Orleans, New York City, Chicago, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Gulf Coast, Boston, Martha's Vineyard, Seattle, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Jupiter Island, Daytona, Washington DC, Williamsburg, Baltimore... and international trips to London, Paris, Lisbon, Rome, Madrid. Geneva, Athens, and Istanbul.
All-in-all, our trips were always too brief but we always stayed just long enough to feel like it was time to return home. Traveling, I suppose was fun, but I would not want to do it again... and, it was not because of the leg room of air flights because I always had plenty of that... but, there is always something different about sleeping in someone's else's bed all the time or eating different kinds of foods that may or may not taste good... and having one's routine disturbed on a daily basis... or, always having some place to be...
The decade almost over represents at least 3 week long trips to Myrtle Beach, SC each year regardless of wherever else we went and while the beach is always crowded and driving at night is horrendous, MB offers a sense of familiarity and certain expectations that always seem to be fulfilled, unlike other beaches we have visited like: The Outer Banks, Hilton Head, Destin, Hobe Sound, Gulf Port... etc. The only beach outside of Myrtle like we both like is Daytona.
An aspect of life that some of never consider and others always seem to overlook, is the religious aspect of having a blessed life. And, while that may seem a bit over the top, it is nonetheless a truthful observation. My life continues to take place above ground and the only reason that this is happening the way it is... is because God has been watching over me in some way form or fashion overwise I would have already been dead and buried.
