What if this divorce opens up travel opportunities that I never would have done with my ex-husband (because of his interest or because of his preference to spend the money on cars)? I'm spending some time dreaming a bit. My day didn't go as planned (bird excursions I didn't register to soon enough and then trip to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens that was prevented because of severe weather) but it has given me time to dream and to research and the opportunities are truly endless.
So I'm going over my budget with a fine tooth comb. I'm creating travel goals for the upcoming years. I'm trying to come up with estimated budgets for those trips so I can plan for them. And I'm discovering some pretty amazing options.
Do I dare to travel internationally as a solo traveler? That is my ultimate goal but it is a bit intimidating. So maybe I start with a package all-inclusive trip that picks me up from the airport and drops me back off at the end. Machu Picchu and Amazon River? Antarctic expedition cruise? Dare I dream? How can I not?
In the meantime, I will watch my mailbox for the brochure that will shortly be on its way. (Some travel companies still make paper brochures!)
