1. REGRETS? That I haven't made time to do a degree in history or art history -- just because I want to. Plus I regret not writing the book(s) that friends and family have been encouraging me to do for years.
2. BEST PLACE(S)? In no particular order:
* Bermuda -- for its pink sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise water, and technicolour fish. Before moving there, my experience was Padre Island, Canyon Lake, stock tanks, and creeks. I had no idea that beach water and fish came in colours other than brown and grey...(!)
* Lake District, Cumbria, England -- for hiking on the fells and being outdoors amidst beautiful, quiet, rural surroundings, then "going down the pub" for a pint afterwards. I'd love to have a little cottage there someday.
* Island of Capri, Italy -- for the beauty, history, and relaxation I find there, plus the Old World graciousness and hospitality of the locals. I hate to fly, but it's always worth the trip to get there.
* Monte Carlo, Monaco -- for the experience, if nothing else, of spending a few days in a beautiful setting where outrageous overindulgence and conspicuous consumption amongst The Jet Set and The Beautiful People reaches epic proportions -- and then finding myself thankful that I don't live there and/or that way.
3. TOMBSTONE? "Not dead yet."
4. ART v. LIT.? Both are equally important to me -- each can enlighten, educate, evoke emotions, appeal to the aesthetic sense, tell a story or relate a history, and so on, so I'd hate to have to choose.
