It helps a lot of you can look up old friends from school or whatever who are now scattered around and catch them for dinner or a hike when you're in their area. Probably harder to do internationally, but not impossible.
Firstly, big thank you for the post and suggestion. I do try it, unfortunately given that my day job is to present all day on my feet for days at a time, after I teach for the day, I usually am exhausted. I go to a bar, drink like a fish, rinse and repeat. Last thing I wanted to do at that point, was to talk.

Hence why I started the other thread about FF's and drinking. I had to cut it out, and I did. This crap creeps up on you quick

I love to fly, and travel - if it has nothing to do with work. Plus most cities I go to are pretty remote...

Looking at hot girls in nice restaurants is fun though. Thank gosh mrs.sap is never on this board!
