I generally like to explore things by myself. Whenever I get the opportunity to take trips or go to new places or experience new things I usually do it alone.
I never know how the experience will go and I like to be flexible enough to change my plans at the spur of the moment, not as easy when traveling with someone else.
But see, that’s wrong.
The best trips I’ve had and the most fun that I’ve had has always been with other people. In either groups or with someone else. Sharing experiences seems to double or even quadruple the fun I experience. Getting my own point of view as well as another person’s point of view provides me with an undefinable quality, something that I can’t mimic or recreate on my own.
The opportunities in life to do or see new things, and travel to new locations are diminishing as I age. My responsibilities are such that time off is invaluable and has to be spent wisely.
My new outlook on life is that after I return from this vacation that I will do the best I can to reach out to friends and give up some of that valuable alone time that I treasure and spend it with them.
