Extatic 
"It was such a glorious experience, full of unforgettable people, that I didn't want to come home."
How I did it: I had a friend doing mission work in Seoul. When she had gotten settled in with her job and roomates she invited me to visit. My husband didn't want me to go, but I wasn't going to let him stop me. I have always wanted to travel. At times I let him almost talk me out of it. North Korea was incredibly scary at the time and South Korea just didn't seem far enough away, but I went and it was wonderful.
