I mentioned before our regular travel
companion on our expeditions, and the only other lady in my life, of
course I'm referring to Satnavratilova Nuvi de Garmin. Our travelling
days would not be the same if we didn't have her regular
interjections of her opinion into our conversations. Sometimes it can
be many minutes, even up to an hour, before she utters her thoughts,
whilst at other times, especially when I am trying to concentrate on
my driving through complicated street systems she never seems to stop
to take breath between uttering her many pearls of wisdom. We
wouldn't want to be without her though and even turn off the radio or
cd player in deference to her greater knowledge than ours.
Now she is much more organised than we
are as she has already completed her arrangements for the trip. She
is ready, we are not!
Not for her any fashion decisions as she is
always in her goth
like attire.
She has her priorities right and has been on the
computer and used the internet to download the most up-to-date maps,
and has even thought to update her mini notepad computer with the
latest operating software. She takes pride in being a modern
sophisticated lady who uses the latest technology to full advantage
in helping her friends.
So as not to get in the way in the final days of Natalie's and my preparations Satnav (our pet name for her) is keeping out of the way, secure in her small, perfectly fashioned, room, safe in the knowledge that we will make sure we do not forget such an important person.

Hola Elliot,
ReplyDeleteI am speaking now for myself, but I am sure that I am also expressing the view of a hell of a lot of other people ...who have followed your comments over the years...............
At least I am going to miss your extremely interresting and also fasinitating comments on your "blog"....
Your upcoming venture, is a great one...and it reminds me of my earlier (working) times, when we moved from country to country or from continent to continent! What do we take???...what do we throw away?....what do we put into storage?....but whatever we decided, it was most of the time the wrong choice!!
I am very jalous of you, as you at least got a country to go to...me and my wife...have travelled and worked all over the world (except the S.America's), and we feel more like "cosmopolitans", then being "bound" to a particular country....for me be this Holland or for my dearest...Switzerland!
We have settled here in Spain, 14 and half years ago, and we believe thjat was the last move we did!
Our children live all over the world..in Luxembourg, in Holland and the youngest in Chicago!...And with 7 grandchildren (the 8th is coming up)..its difficult to keep up with them!
Its a pity we never came to meet each other, but if (in this short time you have left), you are still able to manage..please let me know on my private e-mail!!
If not...I wish you both all the luck and happiness , that we have had...and still have!
Hola Anonymous, Thank you for kind comment about my weblog. Unfortunately I seem to have caused a little confusion amongst my friends. We are not leaving Spain, we are setting up a UK base so that we can spend time in both countries, with the majority of our life in Spain. My intention is to carry on writing as normal and I hope with content that will interest you and my other reader! I think I know who you are, possibly O...
