I moved "out West" several years ago for work and prosperity. I was born and raised on our family farm, near a village where my family goes back hundreds of years. So I have quite a draw to go back home.
A few years ago I bought a small "farm" near home, but I only get to go there for 6 weeks each Summer. I used to fly sometimes, but it is $1800 for a plane ticket now, and this morning gas was $1.32/L (that's $5.00/gal US), so driving is expensive!
