 RH> Still, you've travelled more than some people. When I got the update
 RH> for my high school 20 years reunion, it included the addresses of all
 RH> those in the class. A good half or more of the 63 were within a 25 mile
 RH> radius of Margaretville. Some of them had not been out of the state
 RH> until our senior trip to DC. 

I've seen that lots of places we've been...  Richard has only lived in
NYS, although in various parts thereof... :)

 RH> You lived in several different states before you even graduated from
 RH> high school; I went to the same school, same building even, for all
 RH> 13 years.

Quite true..  :)  You've seen more of the world, and lived in different
states over the country, in your adult life... but I had the experience
of living in totally different parts of the country growing up..  East,
West, Central, South and North...  :)  Never settled in my accent, or my
culture, just assimilated as I went along...  made it easy to assimilate
from friends and acquaintances later on, and from whatever I was exposed
to...  ;)

 NB>> Some day...  :)  That was something that I liked about my solo trips,
 NB>> where I set my own schedule... nobody but me to worry about, if I
 NB>> wanted to work late, or eat whenever...  ;)  And spur-of-the-moment
 NB>> decisions to stop in to a museum or whatever...   ;)

 RH> Some trips are fun to do with a companion also. You can bounce ideas
 RH> of where to go, eat, etc off of each other. You also have a companion
 RH> for meals; it's more enjoyable to eat with someone than by yourself.

Or to have someone to share the exciting discoveries with...  That was
indeed part of the joy of doing the genealogy trips with Mom... we could
put our heads together to solve the genie puzzles, too...  As long as
there's compatibility, I'll agree with the more enjoyable to eat with
someone... but it's also nice to eat what one wants... ;)  Fortunately
Richard and I tend to be compatible that way, too...  He just isn't into
the trip thing so much, though...  :)

 NB>> Rob was a little envious, but he's had lots of other experiences that
 NB>> I've not had, so we are pretty much even...  :) 

 RH> A big family means that more than one person usually has the
 RH> opportunity to see/try different things. One of my younger sisters and
 RH> younger brother went to Italy on a 3 week study tour in high school.
 RH> Neither one has been out of the country except to Canada (while living
 RH> at home) otherwise. Other than Canada, I never got out of the USA until
 RH> about 3 months before I got married. We never thought we'd travel much,
 RH> then Steve joined the Army and, as they say, the rest is history.

One just doesn't know...  :)
 
 NB>> Fun to take the wind out of sails, but that doesn't happen much... 
 NB>> But you certainly one-uped the braggart there... ;)

 RH> T'was the truth. (G)
 
True.  ;)   Still fun...  ;)

 NB>> No matter where you are, people have to eat something... ;)

 RH> Like breathing, a basic, necessary part of living.

Indeed.

... It is very much in your face food, in a good way.
