In March 2011, I was shipwrecked while traveling in Indonesia. Once I was back in the States, I felt an overwhelming urge to thank the many people who offered help.
It also made me realize how important it is to send a thank you message to friends for a trip — whether your trip went perfectly or you had some bumps in the road.
The shipwreck, and the days that followed, were awful. I was blown away by the kindness and generosity of everyone who donated money. The kind donations brought me to tears — and helped me quickly replace my computer, clothing and toiletries. I cannot tell you how moved I was by all the private messages as well.
Having this experience made me realize how valuable it is to have
friends, family and a blogging community that support me in my travels.
