I love your upbeat attitude. I would need my wife's OK to travel to where the Appalachian Trail runs, and with our small farm my absence might not be well-received. Movies? My sweet spot with movies is the 3rd to 5th time. There is so much we miss in a movie with a single viewing. 10 is a bit much, though I confess there are some I have watched that many times. Advice to your granddaughter: Know why you want to teach. Have a Plan B if you don't like it. There is no way to know if you will like teaching until you actually do it. There is much more to it than teaching kids (meetings, staff development, observations, lesson plans, bad administrators, long hours sometimes, etc.)
