Urge to Travel

My husband will be the first to tell you that I do not like to travel. That was true a few months ago. After we went to Miami in March, I have gotten a desire to travel. We has such a good time and we saw and did so many fun things. Also, we flew and before that trip I had only flown once and was deathly afraid of flying. But it is such a big deal. The take off and landing are really fun. I surprised myself at how at ease I was. I did take some medication, but I think I really could have traveled without it.

Anyway, I have a huge desire to go to Paris. I know it's cliche, but I still want to go. I would love to even move there with my husband. He is a pastry chef and what pastry chef wouldn't want to move and live in Paris? I wonder if once we get back together if he would be open to transferring to his chain hotel in Belgium. Wouldn't that be too cool? What a life experience. To say that we lived in Europe for a few years. Wow. I mean it would be scary, but also very exciting. I would like to live anywhere in Europe I think. Maybe Australia? I would definitely move anywhere in the US. Miami, Charleston, Chicago, Dallas, Sacramento. I am just not sure about LA or NY. Maybe get my feet wet with a little travel around some other cities, then conquer those to giants.

We were planning on moving to Charleston and that is still my dream. I love Charleston and I can't wait to show my hubby around it. It's so rich in history and architecture. I love it! I also really liked Miami. It was a very easy city to navigate around. Getting out of debt is important to me, but that isn't the half of what life should be like. It's about going and doing and seeing. Not being so afraid of what's around every corner. The first step is that I am going camping tonight for the first time. I don't know what to expect, but I am sure it will be a blast even if we do get soaked with rain!

My husband also has a friend who lives in the Bahamas, I think. And she was working for a resort down there. We were hopeful that she was going to call him and give him a job. That would be great too. When we do get the opportunity to travel and move around, I would not hesitate to sell everything we own, pack out clothes and our doggie and jump on the plane. It would be overwhelming, but exciting at the same time.

I would also like to got hiking in the Rocky mountains or go through South Dakota.

This whole thing with my husband has really opened my eyes to a lot. He probably doesn't think so, but really I am seeing life with an entire new set of eyes. It's more about seizing the moment and not being so closed minded and sheltered and scared and in control. I just pray that he would give me the chance to show him what I now see and know verse what I thought I saw and knew 2 months ago.

I love my husband and I pray that he would give me the chance I know I deserve... I want to experience life with him and no one else.
