My Dad was the "Radar O'Reily" of his unit. Saw a lot of the world, and came home to Nebraska with a better understanding of what is what.

I wanted to do something similar, but my Mom was very against it. But my career has sent me to some very odd and interesting places anyway.

I've been on a couple of trips abroad with my parents, but I think you can get a good exposure to *reality* without leaving the U.S., too ... especially if you're having to pay your own way!
