It was very sweet of them to do this and because my whole world was about to crumble I got on the plane as arranged and in a weird way it got me over my fear of flying because that night I felt I didn't have anything to live for and didn't care if the plane crashed because he was terminal and I didn't want to live without him!!

Now, I quite enjoy flying and a few years ago made enquired about flying lessons but the $$$'s put me off. Quite a turn around for someone who previously wouldn't set foot in an airplane? Btw, I also went on a cruise as that was something I had 'always' wanted to do....but I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would. LOL

Totally agree about these boards educating us about each other's lifestyles...it's like travelling while sitting in our own homes.

GNO is something I would really enjoy but don't even know anyone who sews, let alone collects vintage machines. If anyone is interested in a DownUnder GNO let me know!! Would be such fun!
