727 days, 3 hours, 32 minutes, 17 seconds left 2 years ago

Better start forming a few committees, huh?



travel with my daughter (read all 5 entries…)
We did it again... 2 years ago

I think I can say I’ve completed this goal and that there isn’t any risk that I will stop doing this.



travel with my daughter (read all 5 entries…)
She's 21 now... a woman in her own right 2 years ago

And she’s planning and taking her own trips. Sometimes I think I’ll explode with pride; I think she’s a spectacular human being.

My wish for her now is that she’ll get the travel bug hard and deep. I am going to make every effort to push her off this continent many times over the next few years.

Here in the U.S. it is too easy to develop a narrow view of the world. We are excessively priviledged and shiny-new. I want her to see the good, the bad and the ugly… and gain a rounded and global perspective.

I think world travel encourages both empathy and awe, two really fabulous attributes that I find in the people I most admire.
