Journey was difficult but the end was all worth it

Have you ever been to a place where the journey to the place is so difficult but in the end it was so worth it? When we went to Cambodia to see the Ankor Wat, we had to travel by road to the place from Thailand and we had to sit through around 2 hours of highway and 9 grueling hours of unpaved road called the "Dancing Road" because the car is literally bouncing and dancing along the road since there are a lot of potholes. It was so difficult even if you are just sitting there because you can't sleep, because you are shaking and bouncing all the way. Anyway, when we got there, I forgot that it was difficult to get there because it was amazing! Everything was so great and timeless and it's like being transported back in time. How about you? Have you experienced something like this? When did you think that the journey was difficult but the end was all worth it?

hmmmm..... I can't think of a place that I went to that left me feeling like that.. but I have had an event like that in my life.. actually 3 times in my life.
I am talking about giving birth! labor is intense and painful and trust me... there is no sleeping through it!!! Just as you think you can't possibly take another second of it.. Then they hand you your baby!
And from that moment on, nothing in the entire world matters except looking at what all the pain produced.
In fact, you can't even remember the pain that just seconds before had you in complete agony.
I had all three of my babies without so much as a Tylenol, so perhaps my experience was more intense than most.. but I really wouldn't have change it, because the outcome might not have been as amazing as it was.
By the way... your experience sounds amazing!

Wow! Actually after watching the movie Knocked Up wherein they showed what the thing looks like while giving birth... I am afraid to give birth. It looks scary and painful! But I'm sure it's always worth it! Congratulations to you! I don't think I could do it 3 times though! hahaha!

Hell! I didn't think I could do it three times either! but stuff happens! lol!
I was on my way to the hospital in labor with my first kid and I turned to my husband and said ( and meant with my whole heart) "I've changed my mind! I don't wanna do this! take me home! NOW!!!"
and 23 hours later.... I had my baby!
lol!
