Quick Update -- My H called me today and said he'd been thinking again about the drive over to Retrouvaille and wanted to make sure that I would be OK driving by myself. (I have an almost incapacitating fear of high bridges to the point where I just about pass out, something that makes it very hard for me to drive over-- the last time it happened I had to stop and call the police who had to drive me and my car over the bridge in the same city where Retrouvaille will be held.) I told him that I would be fine since I've been that route many times and there are no high bridges on the way to the hotel. He said that, given that I would be OK, he still wanted to drive over alone because he wasn't sure how he or I would be feeling after the weekend, like one of us might want to get away and drive by ourselves afterwords. I told him that driving separately was totally fine with me and thanked him for the concern. At least he is trying to be considerate . . .
