My oldest son (21) is getting ready to spend a month in Argentina. My good deed of the day was to help him prepare for the trip by doing all the stuff most people don't like to do - wash and iron clothes, gather items, and see if it all fits in the suitcase. I sort of have Argentina on the mind.

I'm excited for him to spend time with his family, discover a new land, and experience a new culture. In doing so, I think a person discovers themselves no matter the age. Traveling offers new opportunity to gain a broader perspective and enrich our lives. We quickly learn the value of friendship, trust, and the benefits that broadening our knowledge of others not quite like us bring.
