Always trust a glue salesman. They tend to stick to their word.

“It is often said that before you die
your life passes before your eyes.
It is in fact true. It’s called living. “
~ Terry Pratchett

A guy was walking beside a pond when a frog jumped out and told him that she was really a beautiful princess and if he were to kiss her, she would make him VERY happy! He picked up the frog and put it into his pocket. A few minutes later, the frog poked her head out and said, "Didn't you hear me?! I'm a beautiful princess and if you kiss me I will stay with you and do ANYTHING you want!" he guy took the frog out and said, "Look, I understand what you are saying, but I am a computer programmer and right now I don't have time for a girlfriend,........but a talking FROG is REALLY, REALLY COOL!"

Flying is less comfortable than bus travel these days, Susie.
Marilyn, we live in a little place called Ocean Shores, near Byron Bay, the eastern most point of Australia. Population, almost 5,000. That's thousand not million!

Di, I detect a book in your future about people, places, and things. I want a first edition !
We don't fly nearly as much as you guys, but I don't care about getting on another plane any time soon either. I watched an old movie recently in which the characters were on a plane; the seats were enormous, plush-looking with a lot of leg room and wide aisles. Stewardesses were taking around drinks and food. Dream on!!

whereabouts in Australia Di?

LOL Susie! Our kids call us the gypsy hippies. We'll finally be moving back home to Australia in July, after 14 years as expats. I don't think I'll care if I never get on another plane! I feel so lucky to have had the adventures we've experienced. I'm sure with the crocodiles, snakes and spiders at home, there are plenty of adventures ahead.
