I’ve been a bit frustrated trying to find plane tickets to Puerto Rico. TripAdvisor says I can get a round trip for $388, but when I go looking for that fare, it’s at least $150 more. Why do airlines do this?
Since I’ve been living in South Carolina, a trip home does not happen as often as I would like. When I lived in Florida, it was “easier” and definitely less expensive. For the next few years, I need to make it a point to visit more often, since Daddy’s health is slowly declining.
Most of my family still lives in Puerto Rico. No one ever thinks of the worse, and we live our lives as if nothing would ever happen. However, we are not getting any younger. My brother and sister have their kids that are not kids either. The younger kids are already in high school, and the oldest one is in his second year of college. My brother’s 3 older kids are married with children and have families of their own. There are cousins I remember changing their diapers that are now married and their kids are also going to high school and college.
We are all growing old, that’s the circle of life. Some of us are doing it more gracefully than others.
