jennyjoan you need to think about 'you' for a change and accept the invitation to Australia. You will absolutely love it and probably not want to come back. My gran went over to see her sister when she was in her 70's and loved every minute -wished she had gone earlier but 'life' always seemed to get in the way. You need to treat yourself and this is the perfect time, when you have no commitments. Go to Australia, come back and look for a little dog as a companion -it will do you the world of good.
