In fact, I cannot imagine why a single computer with Internet access wouldn't have Google Earth loaded. Now at version 4, it seems to be getting better and better. You can easily fly around the entire world for free!
Next weekend, we're going by real airplane to Manchester, New Hampshire. My dad seems to be doing fairly well in a rehab hospital there. On the phone, he sounds as though he's made a great deal of progress in the last month. Although still occasionally confused, he is looking forward to seeing me. I'm very glad I waited to fly out. I believe it's good that he's been able to count down the days to my visit. In the image above, I found the location of the Super 8 near the airport where we'll stay. If we travelled more upscale, we wouldn't be able to travel around so far and so often.
I haven't been in Manchester since I was a kid. It's about 50 miles from my hometown of Sunapee and about halfway to Boston, Massachusetts. My family used to frequently drive to Manchester to go shopping. Those were in the days before much in the way of shopping was available in Claremont or West Lebanon, NH.
