Ever think about retiring to another country?

I'd rather bird hunt with Cheney vs drink and drive with Ted Kennedy.

That's one long flight isn't it?

Not flying one way.

Not flying one way.

I didnt mean 1 way

I've been on several 8 hr flights non stop. That's a long flight on a cargo plane. Once while 4 hours into it we had to turn around and go back. Sit on the flight line till problem was corrected then started the 8 hr flight all over.

In the Army in the 70's, we flew 18 hours from LA to Tokyo because of a 200 mph+ head wind generated by the jet stream. One stop for fuel in Hawaii in a 747.

Oh I've been on longer than 8 hr flights over all with brief stops.

Longest flight I've been on was 1.5 hours I think. Not too bad. Spent more time than that in the airport due to delays.

Biggest problem with New Zealand flight is once you leave there is no place to stop.

My plan is a smaller home in two places in the US. One near wherever my boys end up living as adults (the oldest is 6 so I have a while) and the other in the opposite climate. So if they stay here in Oklahoma, I want a house in New Hampshire or upper Michigan so I can spend August somewhere it is 65-80 degrees every day and see the most vivid fall leave changes ever and then come back to here where the winter may get cold but is half the length of up north.

I was seriously considering spending my final retirement years in North Korea. However, because the logistics of making this significant move would be so difficult and stressful at my age, I’ve been reluctant to make it happen. Now there’s good reason to hope thiat this move may not be necessary because, if the Democrats win the Presidency and obtain majorities in Congress and the Senate in November, we will all soon have the wonderful advantages enjoyed by the vast majority of those lucky North Koreans…..
