Journey Abroad

Israel, South Africa, Poland, and Greece. What do all of these countries have in common? I know at least one person that is traveling to one of these countries over the next several weeks. Each one of these represent a long journey and a lot of uncertainty. It would be nice if all the details could be worked out in advance, so that there would be no surprises. Unfortunately, it simply does not work that way.

So why do it? Why take the time and spend the money to embark on a journey plagued with so many questions? For some it is an opportunity of a life time. For others it is something that they have done before and wouldn't miss for the world. Still for others it is an opportunity to see and experience things that they have heard about all their lives.

As risky as trips can be today, there is no question that everyone of them will be well worth the investment. Everything may not go as planned, and there will certainly be anxious moments. However, part of living the journey is being willing to take risks. Risk taking is not something that everyone is comfortable with, but for others it is the spice of life.

So, as the time approaches and people travel literally all over the world, we send them off with the hope and belief that they will return full of stories and new experiences that will last them a life time.
