If you had enough money...

Hi jugs...and you know I have thought that same thing many times. My family is a very close knit one and everyone always has to know what eveyone else is doing. Sometimes you want to just keep things to yourself and if you are having a problem you would like to keep that to yourself as well. Now if you have a big family you can never do that because if you tell one person it is lke putting it in the paper or on your local news show because by 5 that evening everyone knows what you have said with more added to it for good measure. I think sometimes I would like to move away from all of that, but then I get to thinking...if I really needed someone close by and didn't have anyone what would I do then. I guess there are alot of pro and con to living close to family and they can be trouble sometimes but there is know one else that will come in to bat for you either when you need them to! flutterby

Hi jugsjugs, If I had enough money to travel, then I'll go around the world and visit each and every historical and famous place on earth. But my purpose won't be to get away or escape from anything or anyone, in fact, I think even when I have so much money to spend on travel if I don't have my family with me I won't do it. I can only truly enjoy a journey if and when I share it with the people I love.

The longest I have been away was for just over a year. On that trip I had a fantastic time but missed my family and friends very much indeed. I went around the world and spent some time on it working in Australia. I was twenty years old on that trip and became twenty-one whilst in Brisbane. I did another long trip years later when I was aged twenty-nine. On that I went to New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands. I spent lots of money on that trip and came home feeling rather poor. It would have been better if I had more money when I was on that trip.

Hi! Traveling isn't necessarily the way to affect change. We can start all over and reinvent ourselves without going anywhere. I've done it, as have several others I know. To be perfectly honest all of us started with divorce, allowing ourselves to be the women we could be instead of continuing to suffer in bad situations. We allowed ourselves to discover our strength, eliminated toxic people from our lives, and moved into the situations meant for us. Most of us moved, but within the same community.

I would love to travel the world but I would want at least one good friend. Traveling alone could be boring. You want to enjoy yourself with at least one other person.
