Something similar happened to my husband and me when we were back packing through Europe, but it was my husband who was elbowing me to bolt. We ended up bolting so I will never know what would have happened.

Her story is similar to Morgan's except she and her husband were on the giving end. They met a young man on an airplane one evening. The man was on "holiday," just traveling the globe. His next stop was the Midwest. My friend and her husband told him that hotels were too expensive in their neck of the woods so they offered him their spare bedroom. We all told her she was NUTS! But that's the kind of person she is. She never feared that this young man would harm her, her husband, or their young daughter. She simply wanted the young man to enjoy his "holiday" in the Midwest, free of charge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-45416749544006404912012-11-09T08:59:23.534-06:002012-11-09T08:59:23.534-06:00Amen to this!
