Bob -
I keep trying to explain to the people who go on the trips that, although
they think they are going to help others less fortunate, they will end up
getting much more than they give. They get a lesson in priorities that I
hope stays with them a very long time. After several trips a year for 30
years, I have learned my lesson! Happiness depends on who and not what you
are surrounded by.
Thanks!
Tina
