9-11
 
On this twelfth anniversary of 9-11, my heart goes out to all my American friends.

Thanks very much AV. It's already been a bunch of years, but has much to do with us losing our naivete as a country. I think many of us lost friends or acquaintances during that period in our history.

Hoping we can eventually get back to your country.

Oh, and by the way............Do you own BA yet? If so, maybe we can figure out how to get back there!

I'm confident you'll figure out on your own how to get back here when the time comes, tptr.

Meanwhile, I suggest you read my posts which explain how staying in BA can be about 40% cheaper than it seems.

Thank you av.

It was a truly terrifying day; one of those that you never, ever, forget where you were and what you were doing.

I had multiple friends in the towers and Pentagon; they all escaped and survived, or weren't yet at work that day. Thank you 9-5 workday for the lives of some of my dearest friends.

I'll never forget the sound of the military fighter jets screaming over my house; they had been scrambled to protect the nuclear power plant and Vandenberg.

My DD was afraid of airplanes for years, almost couldn't get her to come to Egypt with me; the trip had 10 flights.

"My peace I give unto you". I just wish we could accept and embrace it.

Buenas noche, amigo
