    I think this opportunity affords you this once in a life time experience to be of the world and to use your many talents in service to many others. Also,your peers and students will learn so much from your adventures.

      Hi Jean and Anthony! I was just checking to see if I had sent you my blog address when I saw your comment. You were there when this whole adventure started and have been an inspiration all along. I’ll be following your next adventure as well and maybe our paths will cross in the coming year.

    I get it! I’m so excited for you for doing this. What a great adventure and purpose (s). You have given me the chance to broaden my retirement opportunities in the future 😉 Thanks!

      I was hoping to hear from you, Gina! Still remember our weekend adventures in Mallorca. You and Julie (comments on other posts) have the same sense of adventure. Can’t wait to hear about your latest trips.

      Thanks, Jessie. Tell Jose I was just talking about him yesterday. I have a student here named Jose and was telling him about your Jose. Hope you’re enjoying the summer.

    Very insightful. I’m actually totally jealous. I would love to do this one day (kids to college first!).

      Yes, priorities do get in the way. I’m sure you can make it happen one day. I’m lucky that I can do it now.

    P.S. I’m going to show this post to Miles as he thinks about where he wants to go! It will be very helpful for him.

    Well Flanagan- you are the best… I get it ! I will read an autographed copy of your first book! Right now I’m on page 415 of my 789 page book, called Saigon by Anthony Grey. Thoughts are in Vietnam and on hip recovery. Keep on writing- see you soon…..⛩VickyAnn

      Glad you’re recovering. Hope the book is motivating you to come for a visit in Vietnam. I’ll see you very soon!

    Tim,
    I love your list and could not agree with you and “it” more. I hope that it will expand to add other things you did not know were there. Time is the one thing this opportunity offers us, the one luxury we seldom have. One thing I must say, I wish I had more time in Seoul. I already feel that three weeks have gone by and that my time here will be too short. Will now read your other posts!
    Stay well my South East Asia neighbor. Monica

      I got the idea from some world travelers I met through Couchsurfing. Definitely worth doing.
