"Friends would ask "aren't you afraid?" My answer was "I feared not leaving even more!"

On my last cruise, and the only one paid out of my pocket, I took off for 9 months and single-handed to Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. People often asked "Don't you wish you had someone to go with you?" Admittedly there were a few times it would have been nice, but I had limited funds and if I'd waited for that "someone" I wouldn't have had the money to go. So my answer is: "It's better to have gone alone than not to have gone at all."
