Hi Nancy,

 NB> trying  RH>> something new.
 NB>  NB>> Next best thing... :)  And, barring going on someone else's
 NB> dime,  NB>> generally more affordable...  :)

 RH> Beats borrowing up to the eyebrows just to travel.

 NB> For sure.  :)  And, I have had the chance to do at least a little
 NB> travel as an adult... including 4 different trips to Britain...  :)

I only got there once, and only to a relatively small part of the
country. (G)


 RH> At times I miss the travel we did with the Army, other times I'm
 RH> content to be more settled.

 NB> We moved a lot when I was a kid, as I've mentioned before... and I've
 NB> done a number of road trips since, mostly for genealogy, partly just
 NB> for family or friends... gets some of the wanderlust built in by my
 NB> childhood out of my system...  As I get older, I'm more willing to
 NB> stay put...  ;)  At least between trips...  (G)

I wouldn't mind a trip where Steve and I went where we wanted to, saw
what we wanted, when we wanted (IOW, no constraints). I keep seeing
signs for interesting things like the Museum of Women in the Military
or Museum of the Civil War Soldier but we're either going somewhere or
headed home. Some day.................................

 NB> brother
 NB>  NB>> (who'd been to the Philippines, but not managed to try it there)
 NB> and  NB>> my niece's then boyfriend, who was Filipino...  :)

 RH> We'd heard of it only thru the echo, heard of it for quite some time
 RH> before we actually tried it.

 NB> I actually hadn't heard of it until the echo, and the talk about
 NB> planning that first picnic I went to... but then going from the
 NB> picnic, where I'd just tried it, to that year's family camping where I
 NB> could
 NB> brag on it to people like my brother that already HAD known about it,
 NB> that was just icing on the cake... ;)

Like when my sister was bragging about living in a gated community--we
said that we did too, and our gates were guarded--with armed guards
(military housing). Took the wind out of her sails. (G)


 NB>  NB>>> ... Food is our common ground, a universal experience.
 NB>  RH>> We've all got to eat, something. And, a lot of cultures share
 NB> some  RH>> basics in common--rice and some form of breadstuff are a
 NB> couple of  RH>> "for instances".
 NB>  NB>> Quite... and some sort of meat in a breadstuff, as well... ;)
 NB>  NB>> Part of the fun is seeing the similarities among the
 NB> differences...  NB>> and vice versa, as well... :)

 RH> Yes, quite similar in some respects, very diverse in others.

 NB> Makes it interesting...  ;)

 NB>  NB>> ... It's amazing how pervasive food is.

 RH> It's everywhere!

 NB> And a good thing that is... (G)

Very much so! Somebody like Euelle Gibbons would find food in places
we'd overlook.
