Once flew to Caracas on a whim with a boy I was dating. He lived in San Diego and I lived in Atlanta. It was a very hot, very sext thing to do. The entire flight there, I was on pins and needles waiting for my four day fling. While there, we sun bathed, drank too much, danced late into the night, ate really well, and had sex anywhere the mood struck us. It was TOTALLY worth it. (Did I mention that my passport had expired? And that I paid like an extra $400 to get it expedited for renewal in 24 hours?)
Flew at the last minute to be with a friend after a bone marrow transplant. Again, totally worth the expense. We sat in her hospital room, being totally morbid. I told her on more than one ocaission that I would "kick her cancer ridden ass". She told me that the primary reason she wanted to get well was to smack me silly. I told her she'd never live long enough. It was macabre and silly. At one point, her father got mad and told us we were not allowed to make any more cancer/death jokes. We lasted maybe 30 minutes. Looking back, I am so grateful for that time. I'd do it all over today, if she were still here.
