I interviewed a WWII Veteran the other day for a video biography. He was well traveled, going to Europe 8 diffrent times, and has been to every state in the US of A during his 88 years. Had a pretty exciting life I must say with regards to seeing alot. He was very thankful for the opportunity to see all he has. For years now he has had trouble walking and getting around, and is saddened by the fact that he will never get to go visit some friends in Ireland.

If there is one thing in this world we "should take advantage of, but never take for granted, is our health." "Use it while you've got it" because "when you can't travel easily the world sure does get smaller."

I'll take that to heart.
