Time and Distance

LL

I don't suppose you have ever thought about it but most places coast to coast over here are about the same travelling time that you take to get to those islands named after a yellow bird. So, about 4 plus hours from now I could be in San Francisco or LA - about the same travelling time that you take to get to those islands named after a yellow bird. A little longer to Seattle or Portland from down here in South Carolina. One big difference is the degree of comfort we both travel in. You with the low cost airline, me in my own (ed) private jet.

Do you still think you made a wise choice? I think both you and I know that you didn't. In fact you expressed that thought immediately after you decided not to leave the big wide guy. You sure do know how to mess up a life - not mine, yours. You should have listened to me and trusted my judgement - it has proved to be far superior to yours.

Thought you might like to see the view from up front on our jet, these were taken over the Mid West about a month ago.



Since starting this we have moved onto France and are staying in our lovely old place close to Carcassonne, enjoying great food and great wine in between some touring and catching up with friends, locally. We will be here a while then back to Florida via the UK maybe.

Time, distance and cost are not a problem these days ;-)

I often think how much you would have enjoyed this life and in particular living in the US and spending lots of time in Italy and France. But, you made your choice and have to live with it. I didn't choose - I said I was going nowhere way back when and meant it. Funny how things turn out though isn't it. Look at where I am and....look at where you are.

Au revoir
