I haven't been in the last several years and I really miss it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hate flying Really really hate it. I wasn't meant to fly at all and I have had to do it too many times in my life already! I will gladly take a 7 or 8 day transatlantic cruise over an 11.5 hour flight to get to Europe any day. The last time I flew to Europe I swore it was the LAST time I would fly to Europe. I just can't do it. I am terrified the whole time and I get all dried out breathing that airplane air. No thank you. I can swim and I am really good at floating. I can't fly. This is my rationale behind this. Sharks don't bother me. We kill more of them than they do us. Cold waters could be a problem, but I'll take my chances. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been on some pretty rough water in some pretty small ships and some even smaller fishing vessels. Nothing like falling asleep with the waves of the ocean. The worst part of being on the water for a long time for me is not sea sickness but the land sickness I get when I get back on shore with my sea legs. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have this dream of buying a big sailing yacht one day and just taking off. Never settling and living from port to port being at sea for weeks at a time. Heck yeah bring it on. I even went to sailing school to learn how to sail. It was my Mother's Day gift a couple of years ago and it was the best gift ever. </p><p><br /></p><p>My husband is a bit afraid of the sea. He doesn't so much like my idea for retirement but he would follow me anywhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now if I didn't have a husband and a small child that I couldn't stand to be away from I would love to be an auctioneer on a cruise ship, selling art. What a job that would be. I just wouldn't want to be away from my family that long and when you work on those ships you tend to be on a certain route for several months before you get to go home.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only other problem is my other passion is horses and they don't go too well with sailboats so I am left to choose one or the other I guess. LOL! </p><p><br /></p><p>My tagline under my profile picture says "200 years too late" I am not sure how many ever caught it but it is because the song below is probably my all time favorite. Every word of it is meaningful to me and it stirs up a lot of emotions for me. I could listen to it over and over and never get tired of it. Just ask my poor husband who now hates this song. LOL! So now you know... The rest of the story. </p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]df1E4NJu7ng[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I might just buy this piece for myself to keep. ;-) I know, I know, I am a dork.
