W2DR Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I was asked the other day what three things I'd done in life that, if given the chance, I would you do over again. For me, it was an easy answer: 1. Sail down the Nile from Aswan to Cairo. 2. Float across the Serengetti Plain at dawn in a hot air balloon. 3. Hold Sandi in my arms and tell her one last time how much I love her. What things in life would you do over if you had the chance? Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Things I'd do over. Imigrate to the US as a fresh faced fourteen year old. Decide to return to Alaska after my military tour. Marry a nineteen year old (56 years and counting) Learn to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cox Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 With the world the way it is today where everything has to be locked up, don't look sideways at someone at the risk of getting knifed, bashed or shot I would like to go back to the early 60s when I was in my mid teens knowing what I know today. Back then life was so much simpler where you could home from the movies on your own knowing you would be safe. I would get a trade (which I actually did), chase harder after a young lady I had my eye on and follow my dream of learning to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
