Describe the longest amount of time you have ever been away from home.

  The longest time I've ever been away from home is a little over a month.  It was a few years ago when I went down to Rolla to visit some friends.  In that short amount of time I survived a tornado and another tornado close call.  Rolla seems to be the worst when it comes to storms and tornadoes.  I don't miss the storms, but I kinda miss some of the people.  It's part country and part city in a way.  Definately different than anything I had ever experienced.  I'd like to go live with friends in another town, for a little, while again.  Good times!  :D
