As an old married guy...
I KNOW how to play the game.
Even if I didn't get anything more than a friend out of the trip I still was up a GOOD FRIEND and a LOT of fun times and memories that couldn't be erased.
These are the sort of adventures you want to have had when you are old and grey and seeing way too many doctors.
I'm not going to be one of those sorts that say, ". Woulda, coulda, or shoulda"...
I'm going to say," lookout God I'm a coming to Heaven to start some new adventures!"
