Hi, there — just thought I’d pay you a visit since you were kind enough to leave me a comment at Brazen Careerist… I enjoyed reading your post, and I can relate in some aspects. My parents live in Brazil, and although I love going to see them, I hate the whole airport experience. It seems I always arrive with sore muscles and a head cold.

Thanks for your comment! I can’t imagine being so far away from my parents all the time — especially with such a trip as yours! Hoping that your airport experiences get a little better, a little easier, a little calmer. I look forward to reading more posts on your blog and on BC! – Susan

Whew! Even though I knew you were home and have been for a week now, the unfinished part of the story left me hanging in the Toulouse airport.

Man, the stories you’ll tell when you’re 85! “When I was your age, sonny… hold on, let Grandma get her hanky from her sleeve… I slept all night in the Charles de Gaulle airport! And I LIKED it! You ain’t see nothing of the world yet, old Gramma Susan has SEEN the world.”

Yeah. I hope I’m there with you, swapping stories about how crazy our lives have been. Maybe it’s time to start saving for a trip to Italy? What do you say, 2 years?

I’m afraid to even read back through it for having that same reaction, even while sitting in the comfort of my hometown! You crack me up. This is why we’ll still be friends when we’re 85, hopefully swapping more stories of travels together. Who knows? Maybe when we’re in Italy, as you suggest, in a few years’ time, I’ll be losing *you* in the Venice canals! Two years it is. Much love and greater friendship, Susan

I am so proud of you, the tone of this post, of your posts about your trip back, is so different from the posts on your journey to France. You are not the same person, life is an adventure not a struggle through hell. You are a world traveller now, even if you don’t want to travel again for a while!

PS Your post made me homesick for Paris… see you there next year, more croissants!

Years ago, I thought that my first trip to France would also be my last, as in opportunity. Now I’m convinced that I’ll be back Just flying over it made me realize how much I love that city; we should definitely plan for a real cafe visit in the next few years! Thanks so much for your positive comments and faith in me. I’m convinced that it has made all the difference. All the very best to you! – Susan
