With our health and mobility issues it is imperative that we make the most of each day we have. So each time we go away we adhere to my tattoo, a quote from Henry David Thoreau.
"Live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."
Between May 5 and June 4 of this year we:
- Took three cruises
- Rented two cars
- Stayed in 12 different hotels
- Visited four National Parks
- Spent time in two countries
- Traveled to four states
- Traveled by plane, ship, converted school bus and converted prison bus, double decker bus, coach, train, taxi, car, and shuttle.
- Went to two Major League Baseball games
- Won $1279.07 on a penny slot machine
Yeah, we sucked the marrow. But when we take these kinds of trips the same question comes up, a question that is hard to answer.
