Speaker 1: A friend of mine took early retirement recently and he and his wife are traveling all over the world.
Speaker 2: That sounds like so much fun!
Speaker 1: I know - I wish I could do that. They've been to France, Italy, Croatia and Chile so far - I'm sitting in NC!
Speaker 2: I totally get why you feel that way.  Your time will come soon.
Speaker 1: I would just like to be able to drive to Raleigh without hurting! I fell and broke my hip a while back and can't walk properly.
Speaker 2: I hope you can recover soon!
Speaker 1: One more operation and I should be good. In the meantime, I have to live vicariously through Joe and Helen :)
