"If you don't want to be shot in Las Vegas, go to Las Vegas. If you don't want to be shot in England, go to England. Those whom are afraid to travel to Las Vegas, will be shot in France. Those whom are afraid to go to England will be shot in Las Vegas."
The lesson of this post is letting fear dictate where you travel. It is a shame to let tragic situations keep you from seeing the world, enjoying yourself, living life. If you are too afraid to travel to one place, something tragic may happen somewhere else! To not fear a place and still visit gives you more of a chance to have a memorable time there. But if you fear travel, you are oppressing your soul. After 911 my family still flew to the East. After riots in South Africa we still went to South Africa. We went to Thailand DURING Martial Law. Double Decker bus bomb in England; we still went. And on every journey we had a breathtaking, memorable experience. And will be returning this year!
In the photo below we walked right through a military camp by accident DURING MARTIAL LAW IN THAILAND! The guy was nice and I asked if I could take a pic with him. Any questions?
