How I did it: I decided to take a last minute trip out of the country with 1 week notice.  

My husband and I have been going through a very rough patch in our marriage. A friend of mine told me that he was going to Puerto Rico and I just said how much I would love to go. Without much thought he said "done!" He told me that if I wanted to go there would be a ticket waiting for me. This is one of my husband's greatest fears-a man trying to sweep me off of my feet. I told my husband about the offer and he told me to take the opportunity, it would be a good lesson to prove that he wasn't so insecure with himself. I struggled with myself, "Should I, shouldn't I?" but the day came to leave and I left. This was an opportunity I just could not pass up.

I know that there were worries about something happening sexually but my friend and I aren't like that. We relaxed by the beach everyday, went salsa dancing, drank expensive rum and smoked a Cuban cigar. I still can't believe it happened. I will remember that spontaneous trip for the rest of my life. 

Lessons & tips: -Nike's slogan, "Just do it!"
-Don't listen to others if you feel that something is right/wrong in your heart, it is your life! If I had listened to other people's opinions I wouldn't have gone.
