Discussion topic: Since being in this Long Distance relationship, have you travelled anywhere else besides JA?
... I have a friend that is temporarily living in SanDiego, who would like for me and another close friend to come visit... I am actually considering this ' girls' getaway (5 days) b4 hubby get's here... 8) because I feel that the process should soon begin to wind down... And worst case scenario if Hubby isn't here by summer, I would go visit him then
