history: My sister took her family to Barcelona. I wish I could take a trip like that.  My sister just got back from the trip of a lifetime_comma_ to Barcelona. She took her whole family_comma_ 4 kids. Oh that sounds amazing! were you a little jealous? Did they have fun? They had a great time! I'm happy for her_comma_ but at the same time_comma_ I am feeling a lot of envy. You hit the nail on the head! I completely understand. It does sound amazing though!
current: Yes! It's just hard realizing that I won't be taking any trips like that any time soon.  
next: I know what you mean. We are only lucky enough to travel local.
