For the Love of Travel
Love and Sex Editor, Tina Jones, shares what she
sacrificed for her love of travel and what she gained in return.
It
was a Sunday, the first week of
December 2011 and I was at the office
working against a deadline. My mother
called to give me an update on the planning of my wedding scheduled for July
29, 2012. We were planning a destination wedding in Grand Teton National
Park so everything had
to be confirmed well ahead of time.
Most of the guests would be traveling
at least a thousand miles for the event
so ‘save the date’ announcements had
been sent out the week prior. My mother was mid-sentence when I snapped –
“I can’t do it mom. I can’t marry Henry.
I just can’t do it. We want completely
different things out of life.” I broke up
with Henry three hours later. I never
looked back.
