The biggest problem for me is getting enough time off at one time to go do this. It’s not easy with my job. I get 6 weeks off a year but grouping more than one week together is really tough. This is a main reason why I’ve never left the country. I’m working there 23 years and it’s more like I just take the vacations when I can get them and not when I necessarily want them. Welcome to the shipping business!!I have a ton of places I’d like to visit besides Italy. That will always be at the top of my list because it was my mother’s dream to go there one day but she was  really kind of embarrassed to go anywhere with her illness. I would’ve taken her regardless but we just never got around to it. I’d also love to see Spain, Portugal, France, the UK. I would love to visit any country I’ve never been to actually. And I made myself a promise recently when I received my “all clear” diagnosis from the doctors that I would start doing more things that I put off over the years. Life’s too short!!Let’s see, where do we stand? 4200 minus 4169 is 31? Not bad!! We still have about 9 days to meet our goal.</blockquote>
