Thoughts?

What advice would you give a n00b to LDRs?

My friend has recently started on and while I have been at this for 5 years, I feel ill prepared to offer advice for some reason. I have given her some hints, but I curious what others would have to say.

It's all creeping up on me. I'm getting very excited. I haven't seen Bear for nearly a year now, but soon, my friends, soon...eee! There is an upside to my unable to pay for a flight any sooner, as that meant that I ended up saving more money over the last year, and I can afford to take more spending money than I normally do.
