I often think how different our lives would have been had we not taken our “big leap”; and it did feel like a big leap at the time, to come to America from the UK for a 3 year job secondment! It was so difficult to think of leaving family behind, but then 3 years we thought, it will fly and we will be back. Needless to say, 18 years later we are not back! We have had many travels and experiences, none of which have yet killed us, a few close calls (there are some very bad taxi drivers in Asia lol!). The thought of looking back one day and saying “what if” was our motivation then. Glad we took our own advice.

I agree! Somehow having Kate frame it like this made me realize that if I had it do again, I would have made the same choices. (Thanks, Kate! You’re better than a psychologist. :))
We try to be all things to all people at this site, don’t we, ML?!
I hear you, Lynn — better than most 🙂
