Thanks to the internet we can all keep better track of our families and keep in touch.
My daughter Karen has just arrived in London and I am sure she is making her way around the shops and inspecting the ‘duty free’ stores for her return. But aside from the shopping, there is always a sense of history and adventure in seeing new sites and new people. England is one of the many ancestral homes of our families, but being Americans, we are a mix of many great peoples. Karen and Kristin are keeping track over the areas each has traveled and Karen was trying to lay ‘claim’ to the North Pole because she flew over it, but Kristin said she must stand — not fly — on it first.
Kristin is very well traveled, although I am sure she would have liked to visit Iraq, Kuwait and the Gulf States under better circumstances. However, she earned a perspective few have.
So, the internet allows me to share and enjoy some of their lifes… even if I am at home.
