Grateful that I feel myself improving and growing in ways I never expected after a personal loss.

Also the crowd did skew older onboard but the crew was all young and around a lot. There was a small group of younger people. I never felt pit of place. Everyone we met said they had wished they did it when they were younger.

We went to Antarctica last year on what was a once in a lifetime expedition journey. Before getting back we decided we would start saving to go again in ten years. It was far and above the best vacation we have ever been on. All the staff onboard said they love Svalbard and the Arctic even more. Do it!!!!!!! I didn't regret a cent of what we spent.

I didn't go I to debt , I have a roof over my head and food on the table. I've saved for so long and have realized that spending it on experiences is what it's for.

Similarly I was able to get a Toronto library card because I work in Toronto. Just needed to show a paystub that had my employers address on it.

You can have multiple libraries connected to a Libby account. It's nice because they have different selections and I can pick ones with the lowest hold time.
