Then when they started being in Canada more often than not, I got the travel itch and made myself scarce. <br /><br />So I suppose it is working backwards for me. I missed out on years of that, and now treasure the moments when we all can get together (or at least a quorum of us assemble!)<br /><br />I wish that I'd been more in tune to the fact that I was living a great adventure in my 20's and appreciated it more. I suppose that is the old thing, when you are submerged you can't necessarily see all the wonder of it. Thank goodness for memories! =)<br /><br />NXY--That is a huge compliment for me, thank you! I'd say you've lived quite the life up to this point as well!! =) <br /><br />I've been really lucky to have the time, career, and money to travel...but you know, everything comes at a cost. <br /><br />Being a wanderlust that doesn't stay put too long means those wonderful people you meet, exciting experiences, great contracts are scattered all over the place...only coming together in your mind. <br /><br />And it has put me at a later start on my medical career which may prove to be a major hindrance if I want to go into a specialty and/or have a family someday. <br /><br />All that said, I love (and miss!!) a good campfire and telling stories. And I wouldn't change ONE grungy night on a mud hut floor or wild day in the ED.Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-78231190152370390582010-12-31T23:06:08.967-06:002010-12-31T23:06:08.967-06:00Wow, you are a well-traveled person.
You're j...Wow, you are a well-traveled person.<br /><br />You're just the kind of person I like to sit around a campfire with and listen to your stories of the places you've been, the things you've done, and the people you've met.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243748655669695310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-79511640480827310282010-12-31T11:54:17.349-06:002010-12-31T11:54:17.349-06:00I suppose when I was younger and our family always...I suppose when I was younger and our family always got together (before I went into nursing)I took it all for granted......it was when I started nursing and then my sister moved to the eastern USA and my cousins all moved away and everyone started their own christmas traditions...that I realized that it would never be the same again. I just wish I would have realized that back then and enjoyed it more at the time.... :)Cartoon Charactershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871661908222892370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-44540806431452033662010-12-31T08:26:27.362-06:002010-12-31T08:26:27.362-06:00The worst part is missing my little nieces and nep...The worst part is missing my little nieces and nephews. When I go home and see how close the little ones are to the other aunts and uncles I feel really left out. They just don't know me--I am like this weird auntie that blows into town once a year with huge suitcases and little time. <br /><br />It's a bummer, to be sure.Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-92218220017925308952010-12-31T08:15:37.894-06:002010-12-31T08:15:37.894-06:00I totally feel for you.

It's not exactly the same as your travel scenarios, but still, it can be seriously upsetting to be left out (even when it's your own decision).E.
