So they looked a the map and calculated that it would be a short trip to get there. I told them no, it was probably a 2-hour drive. <BR/><BR/>They were flabbergasted. How could it be that long when the distance on the map was so small? It was really funny, because they were really quite smart people.LaurieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609188211326621400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-1159036370620263162006-09-23T19:32:00.000+01:002006-09-23T19:32:00.000+01:00Thanks for checking in with us so soon.

I must say, the photo of you holding your sock in the plane seat, is that a wee dimple I see?
