SEATTLE PRINCIPLES OF AIKI SEMINAR 2011

I haven't been on a vacation (which is generally me and Stu on a road trip) in over five years, haven't traveled past San Francisco since going to New York nearly two years ago to help my mom get ready to move out here...and with our low budget and the price of filling the gas tank, Stu and I have even given up on pleasure drives to the coast.
But nearly a year ago I got an email about this seminar and in a little over a week I'm flying up to Seattle for a few days.
Last year, I told Stu the registration money was coming out of our dwindling savings and that somehow when the time came I would also come up with the bucks to get there. Fortunately I sold a bunch of weapons bags earlier this year.
How will my body hold up to this all day/three day schedule? I don't know. Sort of don't care. If I didn't go I'd regret it always, and life is too short for that.

Right on!! your post reminds me of the great Mark Twain quote: 'twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.'
Have a great seminar and a great trip!
