I also worked full time while my kids were growing up. I would like to retire and just travel around the world visiting my grandbabies, but I have to pay for it somehow!
I don't think I will make it to Moscow this year. But Thanksgiving in Toronto is definitely doable.
Best wishes for your travel plans! I remember you have a son ministering in Moscow, as well as some children in Israel, right? Expensive places to get to :-(.
