I can begin to imagine how your DW feels about the kids and grandbaby, since mine are far away too. At least you guys are retired and fulltiming, my DD and SIL are expecting my first grandbaby and they are far away. I am still working and am having to try to buy my airline ticket to visit based on best guess as to whether the baby will arrive on or near due date. Flying is the best option, since I have limited time off and the drive in car is 2 hard days (and would take me 3-4 with RV since I travel alone). Enjoy your time traveling and keep those of us that are still dreaming informed as to the wonders of fulltiming.
