I totally agree... I love traveling around as well and I think that I was lucky enough that I didn't have to relocate into another Country right away... I moved into a boat and then into a storage unit LOL!

The kebab story reminds me of a former employer of Eric that loved an Ice Cream that was made in Up State New York and he had an helicopter that was used principally to go buy this icecream and bring it to the house! xD (I actually have a lot of icecream stories about my former boss too... What about rich people and icecream? LOL)

You are right, maybe at first you feel the absence pf the person and you tend to remember all the good things and then it starts to fade away...
