Oh and now I remember what was the difference between having to pay a lot of money to keep Swifty covered under our medical plan and this younger brother. By the time his younger brother graduated from college, children could be kept on the parents plan until they turned 26. Swifty said that in New York, children can be kept on the parents plan until they are 29.

Helen Thank you for the kind words. It was a fast visit home, but I'll take what I can get. He is back on the road again over hill and dale to see his grandmother and then it is off to the train station for the final leg of his journey home. He said that he slept a lot better in his own bed last night than he had for awhile, with the exception of the hotel bed in New Orleans! LOL He also found it strange to hear the "sounds of home" again with crickets and train whistles while he was falling asleep. His dad told him that we could make him a tape and he could listen to the "Sounds of Nighttime at Home" as he falls asleep in NYC.

A few more tales from Swifty't trip he related this morning:

When they are in Vegas waiting to cross the street a couple of Aussies said to them, "We were apprehensive about coming to the United States because of the things that we had read, but we are finding the people to be very nice." Swifty said most likely the only places they had been so far were California and Vegas!

On another note, he said that the rest stops in the South much nicer than the ones along our interstates. However, he said that it did come as a bit of a surprise to see signs at the entrance to the building which said, "No guns allowed beyond this point."
