Miguel, a very good friend of mine owns a vineyard. His family has been making wine for four generations. It has been over ten years since I last saw and heard from Miguel. One morning, while my girlfriend—Natalie was cooking breakfast and I was drinking my usual cup of coffee, the phone rang. I went over to the phone, picked it up and said, “Hello?” the voice on the other side of the phone said, “Hey Vinnie! This is Miguel! How are you?” I didn’t recognize the voice so I said, “Miguel who? I know a lot of Miguels” then he answered,” Miguel Goyenechea, you fool! How would you like to fly over to my vineyard? I’ll hire a jet charter to come and pick you up.” “Why do you need to hire an air charter plane? We can fly on a commercial airline” I asked. And then he said,” commercial airlines take too long! The only way to travel is by charter plane !” I asked him to hold for a second because I needed to ask if Natalie was okay with it. When Natalie said okay, Miguel and I talked for a few more minutes regarding the flight plans. When I hung up, I kissed the love of my life and told her “We are going to have so much fun!”
