A dream, an adventure.

[ChrisH]

I may be starting on the road to a little adventure soon, an adventure that I am sure will not appear so to most of you, indeed will probably seem mundane.

To begin it I intend to learn to drive. Driving is something I would guess most of you do on a daily basis and here am I, 63 years old and only been behind the wheel for a very short time many, many years ago.

If I succeed in that it will be time to save my pennies. I want to take a long let on a property in France - what I mean by a long let is a month at first - and if I like it, perhaps go back for a longer period. There are some beautiful places available, a number of them are pet friendly so my Bobby dog can come with me (Ebby cat will have to stay home, at least at first).

It's a dream I know, but I think an attainable one and something I need to keep my spirit alive.

Go for it!! *hugs* No dream is too big or too small if you believe in it with your heart and spirit.

That is awesome. Do it! Driving is something I love to do. My mom is 87 and she never learned to drive. She tried several times but with 5 kids she always was too busy. She regrets it now. She has always had to depend on my father to take her wherever she wanted to go.

Wishing you well.

You're never too old to start. I say "go for it" - and have fun doing it!

[Randi]

Chris, that sounds like a great plan - go for it! You can do it! You need some warmer weather too, don't you!

I wish you all the best of luck!

[Louie and me]

You go for it Chris. My Mom was in her late 50s when she learned to drive and loved it. She became a very confident and competent driver.

You go girl, fantastic, i wish i had your courage , i am 52 and still don't drive, my mother was about my age when she got hers as well, but for me i think i just cannot do it now, the licence process has changed so much and is so much harder, but good for you,keep with it, you can do it.

Congratulations- Go for it, you're never too old to realize a dream.

Good for you, Chris! These are great things to aim for. I wish you all the best.
