I was thinking a lot yesterday, after getting an e-mail, about the best trips I've ever been on. Easily, they were going to Japan with the high school, and all the band tour/retreat trips. Easily. Of all the places I've been in the world, and all the trips I've taken, those were the best. Why ( Read more... )

I know how you feel. I look around me at the adults in my life, and I realize that even if they're happy, even if they have plenty of friends and a work situation they like, they don't do that sort of thing. Every once in a while some twenty-something person or another will take some big trip with a friend or two. And yeah, they have fun, but it's really not the same thing. People over 35 have their friends over for dinner or something. The biggest non-family, non-work gathering my parents have ever been to (to my knowledge) was my step-father's 50th birthday party (tons of friends over etc.) but still it was a dinner party, you know? I dunno. There's something carefree about those trips that I just don't think we'll ever quite accomplish again.
