I’m so moved by all the above comments. Brendan, even you saw this way over there in Ireland! And I haven’t heard from you for so long. I remember so well and will never forget your invitation to stay at your beautiful Donegal cottage with Jacqueline and that fabulous pasta dinner she made for us. And Sarah and Dawn, you both wrote too! God love ya.’ Then there is all you other wonderful people I’ve never met who took the time to write. Your kind remarks stay close in my heart. Thank you so much. I do hope my travel experiences will give you a big nudge to get on the road if that’s where you want to be or to do anything else that your beautiful heart desires. I’m cheering you on. Wouldn’t it be great to meet up some place? Maybe we should work on that. In the meantime, happy trails forever.

I think the greatest testament to her vagabond lifestyle is how young she looks at 77! What a great spirit!

Sallie,

Is a dear dear friend – she is amazing, charming, generous, and a breath of fresh air. How I wish I could be as brave as she.

I love her so and miss her.

I have just returned from 2 months in Spain, travelling alone. I am 57 years old. Everyone said to me you are so brave, I answered going into a dark cave where there might be sleeping tigers is brave, travelling alone not difficult – just do it . . .

One thing I noticed is that she is a slower traveler, living in countries for extended periods of time. It truly is worthwhile to go deep as opposed to seeing how many stamps you can get in your passport.

Greg, been meaning to park a comment here forever. I am bowled over with this woman. My bday is looming, and had a moment of, “Dammit – I’m getting old!!!” Sal proves that age is mentality period. Love, love, loved this. You inspired me once again.
