Im must confess to being sentimental but not sly.I dont think it is a bad thing to be sentimental. No snide insinuations were made,just some "straight from the heart" talk.Nothing is aimed /obviously aimed at those who have primary homes else where.My brother &sister have migrated to Canada,My husband's entire family have migrated to the U.S.People's decisions have to be respected.There is always nostalgia when one talks about "home".Im quite sure that Australia,UK.,U.S.A.,etc have great things to offer and people who have primary homes there are happy where they are. ______________________________________________________ "Anyone who finds a resemblance between heaven and Goa's stifling heat and humidity in summer, not to mention the height of the monsoon season, is either kidding themselves or has no other options."___________________________ The reality is far from being heaven,Goa is hot as hell.,at the moment.The monsoons havent begun as yet,and the humidity level is high.The monsoon is not too bad,actually Goa is beautiful in the rains. Sometimes people have options,they may not choose to take those options for whatever reason. _______________________________________________________________ "Why would anyone who has a choice pick just one place to call "home"? This is 2005, and the world is a much smaller place than it used to be." Yes Mario,air travel is also becoming a lot more affordable.Ive just returned from a 2 month vacation in Seattle,which is my secondary home. I choose to call "Goa" home because Ive relcoated here,I do have a "home' here.It is just convenient to call just one place "home". Cheers , to friendship on Goanet, not war Melinda
