US

I've just spent three weeks in US. The country may be in a big economy mess, but from what I've seen and experienced, it is still a great country. The public facilities are phenomenal, the people are friendly, life is relatively simple (but not easy, especially for the people who are so used to nannies and helpers and drivers, yeah, you know them).
One thing I've learnt from my travel is, I'm not such a happy loner. Especially when my eldest start her classes at the university, I remembered that when I came back to the guest house alone, I was standing in my bedroom and said to myself, "what am I doing here all by myself?" But I snapped myself back. I've always taken pride in my ability to enjoy myself, so this is the time, right?
So I planned my own adventure. I went to a concert in one of the many lakes in Minneapolis (you HAVE to go to a lake in Minnesota, after all it's the state of 10,000 lakes). I went to a very nice modern art museum in the city. I visited my sister in a small, small town one hour from Pittsburgh.
So, I guess, I still can do it by myself. But I don't know, perhaps, when you get older, you tend to want to share the experience.
