I expected this trip to be a once-in-a-lifetime deal. People asked me before I left why I chose the Vietnam trip, a trip to a very different third-world country with whom we fought 40 years ago, over the Bahamas, Hawaii, or New Zealand. |
Some of my family members don't even know that I went overseas because of the worry and stress it would cause them. My usual response was that you don't take family vacations to Vietnam and Cambodia. I would not be nervous about going to any of the other places on my own later in life. However, now that I've been there, I'd go back in a second. I'd especially like to spend more time in Cambodia and would love to come back with my parents and fiance. Who knows, I might go back on an alumni trip or tag along with a student group when I'm 80. |
