As difficult as it would be... ...I would give it to one of my kids ~ the one who loves to travel more than anything on earth. He is the family adventurer, and will up and take off for a month or two about every three or four years, and he'd do it every year if he could afford it. I would not want to leave my husband, and home, or animals for that long. My daughter would not want to leave her two young kids(nor would she want to take them with her, I'm sure!). And my other son is a true urbanite...I'd of course get his approval on my choice, but I'm sure he'd say "Give it to my brother!" and so we would all live vicariously through our family adventurer. He would also really, really use it to its fullest. I cannot even begin to imagine the places he would go, as he spends much of his time planning the "next trip" ~ he starts when he is on his current trip! He sketches and draws what he sees and is an avid photographer, so we are treated to slide shows and prints when he gets back. He brings home really awesome souvenirs for gifts. Not your typical stuff, at all. When he was in Indonesia he brought me back beautiful fabrics that are made on one tiny island, and available nowhere else. He is also a GREAT ambassador of our country. He is extremely courteous and accepting of all peoples. He travels light, and is respectful of customs and tradition, and is equally at home staying in a hostel, a hotel or with a native family. So, yes, I would give it away. To someone I love, who I know would appreciate it as the treasure it is, for the treasure he is. @Goldie 81 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.
