Living 350 miles from the Florida border and more like 600 from
anywhere I might want to go makes that plane start looking good.

One of the main reasons we decided not to move to Florida was because it would add
all that mileage to any trip we wanted to take.

When we go someplace we want something different so that 350 miles
only adds another 35-40 minutes to the plane trip.

I really like it here. I can get in my boat and get out into an
estuary that is pretty unique. We can get away from people and that is
a valuable thing. When we want to see something else, the airport is
about 15 minutes away and the interstate is more like 5.

Do you have to tip the pilot to stop the plane so you can get out and
snap a picture. Jes wonderin. :-)

If there is something that interesting along the way, we would just
plan a trip there.
We are starting to run out of states. That is why we went to New
Zealand this year.
We have done all the western states and I have seen corn and wheat so
the midwest is not that exciting for us.
Since our kids are in Northern Michigan now, I imagine we will go take
a look at that area.

Thankfully we aren't even close to running out of new places to visit
and places we'd like to revisit and explore in more detail.
