Better to quit something than to finish something you don't like. This is the way Dorothy would have travelled if she didn’t have the help of a witch or two.

I'm pretty sure I'd still be driving and hating myself :-) And you are right, there's no place like home! Good for you for realizing it was too much.

And you are right, there’s no place like home!

Sometimes we need to take heed when we are doing something we know are are not up for. And you are so right, there truly is no place like home. That's why I live in my RV, hehehe.

I never ever think about regret - I learn something from each and every experience. The aborted New York trip was one I've yet to discover its purpose and lesson, but I'm patient. I really do wish I could have gotten there for the corn and thunderstorms though. Oh, yeah - and visits with the family. Thank you for your comments and for reading my story.

Thinking about it makes my gas pedal foot hurt. But you, my dear....wow! I have an awesome respect for your courage not only to embark on such a trek, but to turn around in Kansas....I LOVE that! And then to fess up about it! Who does that? I would NEVER drive across the country. Thinking about it makes my gas pedal foot hurt. But you, my dear….wow!

At the risk of sounding trite I'll say that it isn't always about the end. Sometimes it is about the process. I've driven across the country (always with another driver) maybe half a dozen times, but not since I was 30. I'd love to do it again. I think you were brave to embark and brave to turn around. Especially brave with a seven year old. Welcome home. Hey, I think you had an adventure, just like Dorothy. At the risk of sounding trite I’ll say that it isn’t always about the end.
