Travel for its own sake.
Hmm, so apparently I have the opportunity to escort my grandmother on a trip to Puerto Rico. She was born there and wouldn't mind going back one last time, although it's not like I have to live with the shame of ignoring her last request if I don't go or anything - she doesn't have her sacred heart set on it. Just a nice thing to do, especially since she can more than afford it.
Worth it? I'm not sure. It might be an especially big hassle really. And I have no idea as to the large availability of people who speak English; I have family there and I know some of them do. But many? How well? Are they going to be around all the time? Not that this really worries me, come to think of it. How big of a deal would it be to be stuck without a translator? It's not something I would personally care about at all, whatsoever, not a little bit. Being in screwy situations is just plain fun. But if I'm going to be responsible for someone, THAT'S a reason to care. It makes all of these decisions take on a certain gravity; if it was just me, then go for it, on all counts.
I think if I could get the really nice camera I want before the trip, I would so go just for that reason. But I also think that's unreasonable. So do I want to go without it?
One of those things you eventually kick yourself for not just doing. Except, I don't do that. But I would like it, if I just threw myself in the mix. And I wouldn't really die for not doing it.
Decisions, decisions.
