Yep go for it, I regret I didn't travel more when I was younger with less responsibility. I got married, had son and now there always seems to be a reason why we can't go. However we are considering buying a motor home, renting out our home, not sending our son to secondary school and tutoring him through Open Universioty while travelling round Europe in about 3 years time!! One last adventure before we're to old and a great first adventure for him.
Oh, I would definitely go! I'm actually planning on doing the same next year, hopefully; the USA and Canada. It's something I've always wanted to do, and luckily I've got family dotted around all over the place over there.
Go for it !!!!!! Me and Mr P. did it 4 years ago and have never looked back. We are in this country at the moment as I have just lost my Mum , but a soon as I feel mentally strong enough we will be off exploring again.
