ReplyDeleteWhen you say "No" to doing it again, do you mean a) Knowing what you know now, you probably would have decided not to do this trip? or b) After having done it once, you probably wouldn't do it again?
ReplyDeleteP.S. - your Dad is amazingly high tech commenting on the blog from a restaurant in Brainerd.
Dad - Impressive catch. Just wait until I bust out my new rapalas!
ReplyDeleteMark - Option b. I'm glad I did it, I just wouldn't do it a second time.
Some people have no problem going to school across the country or studying abroad for a year, I just couldn't be away from home for that long.
