Several years ago, I had the opportunity to go to Poland. My friend and I were going to visit another friend, who was teaching overseas. I had everything ready, except my passport. I even took a decent photo for the passport picture. 

Wouldn’t you know it, I became pregnant with my first child. I chose not to go to Poland for several reasons. My friend went and had a great time. If I had gone, I wonder if my life would have been different. Maybe I would have stayed and had a great experience in Europe. With a baby. All by myself. 

Ok. Maybe it was for the best that I didn’t go.  I still have the postcard that one of my friends sent. It’s a reminder that eventually travel will be in my future. There’s always next year. However, it will probably be on the five year plan.
