You are a happy man, free as a bird! ;) I am married which does add some 
constraints to my life such as forced travel abroad at least once a year. 
=(

My hope is that the wife, over time, will lose her interest in travel, and 
then we can happily exist in _one_ place! =D

When my father has passed on, perhaps I can persuade her to move to the 
US, and then I might be able to block any trips back to visit friends and 
family in old europe by claiming it is too long, tiring, expensive and 
"damaging to the planet". Somehow I doubt it. =(
