If you had a second chance?

No, no regrets. Fell into a Civil Service job straight from school as I had no idea what I wanted to do as a career. Fell out of that 6 years later and went to Australia for a couple of years, travelling around, picking up work here and there - apple picking in Tasmania, Chalet cleaning on the Barrier Reef, a Department Store and a Bank in Sydney, can't remember what else. 
Returned home, vowing to keep travelling. Meanwhile, fell back into my old Civil Service Job. Despite never wanting to settle down, met the man who changed my mind and we got married. He humoured my need to travel and we managed 3 holidays abroad every year - just enough to take my mind off work which was a necessary evil to pay for the holidays. Managed to get a few interesting jobs with travel around Wales thrown in and finally, they paid for me to study, part-time in London where I acquired an M.Sc in my very boring -ology. One of the oldest students there as I was in my 40s then.
Had the chance of voluntary redundancy at 48, and my OH did also, so we both retired early, cut back on our day-to-day expenses and still managed our 3 holidays a year.

My only regret is that the Big C took him too soon, otherwise we'd still be travelling. I did go to Peru on my own afterwards, but it wasn't the same. There have been other holidays with a friend since but I've lost the need to travel now and am happy playing about in my own little world and dreaming up crazy ideas to discuss with you. .
