A Vacation to Remember

One of the biggest challenges that I have had to face in my adult life is that we haven’t had the opportunity to travel as much as I would like. With three kids in our family, most of our money has gone to keeping the roof over our head and food on the table, with vacations being a low priority.

But I didn’t want to give up on my dream to swim with dolphins. Ever since I watched Flipper as a child, I knew that I wanted to try it someday, but I knew that I had to be patient – eventually we would get the chance.

As it turns out, we did get that chance a lot sooner than I expected. We paid a little more than we needed to into our income taxes, and received a nice refund. Instead of using it for something useful, my wife decided that we should do something fun for a change and we went to swim with dolphins in Tortola.

I would have to say it was one of the happiest moments of my life and one of the most memorable. If you ever get the chance, you should try it too – you won’t be disappointed.
