I love to travel to new and exciting locations, even though I really hate the packing part of a trip! Being able to experience different cultures and ways of life gives us opportunities to meet so many people from varied backgrounds. Not only does this provide us with thrills and entertainment, but also gives us a new-found respect for others in this world. My husband and I always try to mingle with the local folks a bit wherever we go, which provides us with deeper, richer, and more meaningful experiences. Getting to know our travel guides on a personal basis, sometimes leads us to unique settings where we might find people living in extreme poverty without even the basic necessities of life. Yet they are some of the happiest folks of all, which certainly makes us take inventory of our many blessings. Travel can teach us many lessons, and sometimes we even return home looking at life through a different pair of "glasses."
