hmm 6 months... gosh that's a tough one.
Well that trip to Europe would happen. Albeit it wouldn't be as fun.
Go to my designated favourite places in the world list that have some kind of childhood or happy memory. Niagra Falls is the first one I can think of, went their on my birthday, best birthday ever. Cape Cod riding the bikes up the coast, D.C., Vancouver, Rocky mountains.
Happy memory places.
