We talked about a previous trip to the wineries in the BC Okanagan. It seems quite amazing that we rented that minivan nearly a year ago! Although we were only away for two nights, it was a highlight of last summer. This is why taking trips, large or small, is so important. I have no recollection of the weekend before or after that late June trip.
Routines are nice but memories occur only when they're broken. This is why I think travel is one of the most important things that people do. Nobody on their deathbed looks back at their life and wishes they'd spent more time at the office.
