If today was my last day on Earth I’d have no regrets as long as Sunday was my first day on the moon. If Sunday was not, in fact, my first day on the moon I’m inclined to say I think the next spiritual stop has no room for regrets… Just a suspicion. But, in that infinitesimal moment betwixt “here” and “there” I’d regret leaving such a wonderful way of life behind with a little more personal debt than I’m proud of.

BTW, I managed to get in a trip to London and Bahrain last year. First time off the N. American continent for me. Despite language barriers… the differences were lost on me. I’m a horrid tourist and don’t fully appreciate the history of these places. Travel’s a bit overrated. I’ve done so much flying these past ten years… it’s not the joy it used to be. Plop me near a quiet patch of land in Wyoming or Montana with plentiful trout streams… I’m good for a couple dozen years.

The other links you gave link to your travel book from what I see.

I am 66, feel like I am 36. I retired at 55 and have been living on-the-road full-time in my RV ever since retiring.

I had a dream of visiting Mexico and Central America in depth. My first trip through those countries was 343 days. I\’m planning a return trip with a minimum of 18 months and a 50/50% chance of not returning to the United States.

You can read about my adventures at panamaorbust.com which also contains my blog page so that you can follow my travels if you so desire.

Good luck with your retirement and travel plans!

Watching the Twilight Zone was a communal experience. Every kid I knew (at least the guys), watched it religiously. Rod Serling was a master of short plays that entertained us, mystified us, and sometimes frightened us, but always without resorting to cheap horror devices. His writing had class, and made a deep impression on all of us, I think. It was unthinkable to miss the ending of an episode, that’s where the twist came in. I think Serling was even a good influence on our spiritual development–most of the shows had a moral lesson, too.

I have some regrets about the life I’ve lived, so far (doesn’t everybody?), but wouldn’t feel as if I’ve missed out if death came today. I think I’ve had a more interesting life here than most get to have. I’ve been around the world, but there’s still a lot I want to see. I think you’ll find, T.D., that when you travel, you build momentum, and it’s hard to stop, if you have enough time and money.

I have a personal faith, unsupportable by logic, of course, that our spirits continue on after this life, but I have no faith in reincarnation.

I don’t have any kids, so being blessed with two godchildren has made me realise what’s really important in life.

The unfortunate thing is the items left unfinished that the family would have to take care of, but that would work itself out. Always does.

I still have no regrets about it….only because I do believe I know where I will be in the next. THAT gives me incredible peace knowing that I will have the time to do what I wanted to do, but oh so much more! I’m ready!

But I digress, you didn’t answer the question about would you be ok with things if today was your last day on earth?

Where do you go after this life? There is a heaven, and there is a hell. If you don’t believe something is true, does that mean it’s not true?
