Spain

I have a friend who has retired. But he still likes to travel. So tomorrow he's taking the wife with him, leaving the country and going to Spain for a month. Good choice. Better climate, the best food in the world if you ask me and golf. Golf leaves me cold, but the rest I buy.

But the funny thing is, he was starting to pack a week ago. Washing clothes, planning and worrying whether the apartment they rented had a washing machine or not.

This from a guy I used to travel with, at a time where we packed in the morning just as much as we needed for the days we were away. At least I did. I still remember 9/11 when the company I worked for forbid travel, and I had to go out and buy a shirt. Had only packed for one night.

But I'm sure he'll relax once there. Spain is not an under-developed country. You can still buy all the things you need there.

And I'm certain he'll have a lot of use of the garlic press he's bringing. Despite that he cannot cook.

Haha, you're a funny one:) To Spain? Good for him! I guess he deserves a break. Must be tiresome to be retired. You got to love this guy!

ha, garlic press! seems like a good time to get away from this crappy weather though. I dunno why but there's always been something about Spain that it doesnt really appeal. Spaniards maybe
