We both decided to start looking seriously at settling long-term (or permanently) in Czech Republic. As the days passed, we (especially I) noted that things in Czech Republic seemed better. Big things and really little ones, too. Yes, Czech will be harder for me to learn, but it's best one of us speaks the language fluently. I found in France that Hubby's French was lesser than I expected. We have no support in France or really even the US. It's clearer how much more we have in CZ. It's like a Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz movie eventual moment, for us both. And now that I know what language to really study, I'll put my all into it...finally.

There are eight more days to our trip. I wish we could head home tomorrow, but we'll probably ride this trip out to the end. Seems such a waste! Home? Yes, Czech Republic feels like home.

Well, you've found out. Sometimes a lousy trip gives us more information than a wonderful trip does.

My son has traveled literally all over the globe. He lived and went to university in Italy, same in Paris. He still visits friends in Europe, but he and my DIL's first choice of destination is Eastern Europe. He says the Eastern European countries are extraordinarily beautiful, more affordable, and that the people are so much friendlier than in Europe or the UK and Ireland.
