LOL my anniversary is the 15th, and it used to make me really sad. Now it makes me happy. We had some great years together, and he gave me my 2 girls. Plus September and October are my favorite months of the year. I find myself being happier just because.
My XH and I went on our honeymoon to Australia and NZ on the brink of the first gulf war. It made things very hairy and a little tense, even then before all the stop gaps put in place after 9/11. Then a few years ago, my parents took me and D19 to Ireland for Christmas and New Years. Thanks to the shoe bomber, who pulled his crap while we were overseas and made things beyond difficult. LOL I'm actually thinking of a slew of trips that were ill timed and resulted in security ramping. Most of my international trips, that is.
D19 returned home from London 2 days before the subway bombing. There will always be geopolitical events that affect our lives. I think we just really notice the severity when we travel out of our homeland. Keep positive and make up your mind to have the best trip ever. I know you will!
Have a good weekend...
