Tex – studying abroad simply means studying in a different country. You do not have to be overseas. So, if a student lives in the U.S., then studying in Quebec would most definitely be studying abroad.

You’re a kind person Zletr. I mean it!
But it was a made-up humor attempt on my part.

My wife and I met 15 years ago at an auto auction in Hahira. She and I were eying the same 1991 Ford Escort. This cream puff was powder blue and ready to roll…only some minor body damage. As the bidding escalated, only the two of us were left. At first, we exchanged only looks of contempt and scorn in the battle for our dream car. But as we sparred up to the $1400 mark, I began to notice a certain cuteness in the way she furrowed her brow my way. She later admitted she became strangely aroused by the commanding way I voiced my bids. Long story short, I walked away with a lot more than the Escort. The powder blue Escort with beer cans tied behind it on our wedding day is a memory I will cherish till I die. Our two-night honeymoon in Panama City was a seven-alarm blaze and the embers are still red!

Regrettably, Quebec is not “abroad” since it is a 2 hour flight and only crosses a continental border and not an body of water. Abroad would be Europe, Asia, Africa,,,,,,and why not stay at the Chateau Frontenac, whose rates are similar to other hotels?

Copenhagen is a wonderful romantic city, and it is a great storey, but lacks the full effort of family and friends. Just did not pull my heart strings.

Meet on the other side of the world in a dive and then follow this hot guy to a second rate part of the world, throwing Harvard University to the wind, and obviously it was two sided by the e-mail exchange…now that is a great storey.

The challenge for all three couples in this world…be able to tell their children and grand children in 50 years when statistics say they won’t even be talking to each other.

The couple highlighted in “We Met At A Hostel In Rome” is like something in a romantic movie. Straight out of the fairytale books. I’m going to Europe soon and I can only hope to be as lucky!!!

I think the couple that wrote “We met at a hostel in Rome” should win the contest. Their story was just lovely and very romantic.
