It's not much quicker to fly. So, you definitely were just like an expat.<BR/><BR/>LadyFi - That's when you wish you were there, but you have to live your own life after all.<BR/><BR/>Oreneta - It's happening as I type! I'm confident she'll be fine despite being shown the door straight away! ;-)swenglishexpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102783327902959539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17221781.post-35645101307727290402009-02-13T06:57:00.000+00:002009-02-13T06:57:00.000+00:00Good lord, they can fit a pacemaker with a local! ...Good lord, they can fit a pacemaker with a local!

And so glad they caught that jerk!<BR/><BR/>What you said about being an expat and far away when someone you care about isn't well struck home... though I was in this country when my dad was sick, I was 8 hours away by car, in another state.
