Meeting new friends and eating good food
It's January. We have just returned to Houston after a relaxing trip to Belize. The sun has gone down, and we have decided to hit the hot tub at Hwy 6 RV Resort. We arrive at the pool area, rid ourselves of flip flops and towels, and ease ourselves into the steaming water.
We are soon joined by a man with a quick smile, and we strike up a conversation. I decide I am warm enough and hop in the pool, and am there for only a few minutes before a lady, who seems to know the man in the hot tub, joins me. Before long, we're all friends, chatting about our travels, their fur babies, the beautiful Texas weather, Rod's work, and the pros and cons of living in a home on wheels. Before we disperse back to our homes, we exchange phone numbers.

Technology and Travel: How One Couple Bridges a 6900-Mile Gap to Stay in Touch With Their Children2/28/2017  What do you do when you have four adult children living in four different time zones, spread across nearly 6,900 miles? You travel, of course!
My mom's twin sister, my Aunt Sandy, and her husband, my Uncle Michael, are just such a couple. Their oldest son, the student, along with his wife and their daughter, live in Glasgow, Scotland. Their only daughter, a secretary for a lawyer, and son-in-law, and their daughter live in Wyoming. Their police officer son and his wife and daughter live in West Virginia. And their "baby" the Marine, along with his wife and their son, have been in Hawaii for the last few years. Keeping up with kids and grand kids presents challenges, but it also affords them (currently) a dozen reasons to travel across the country and even across the pond. Curious about their recent travels, I asked Aunt Sandy some questions about those opportunities and obstacles. |
