I am a lucky guy. I get to travel quite frequently and make an effort to get away to see as much of this world as possible. It is so much easier to do than a lot of people realize. It is simply a matter or priorities. I make travelling a priority in my life so I do it! It doesn't hurt that I have a sister who lives in the South of France! She has lived there since 1988, the year I started at MEDITECH. Why does she live there? Well, first, she is married to a French guy that she met in college when she was on exchange at the Sorbonne in Paris. She has three kids, two boys and a girl. They are my daughters' cousins who are closest in age so I try to bring them over to spend time together as well.

On 12/30/04 I headed over to Sete via a trip through Marseilles. I went to spend the tail end of the holidays with my family there. Of course the fact that they planned a big New Year's Eve party didn't deter my interest to head over either!
