The true love story of two children of the '50s, now in their 80s, and still filled with the hopes and dreams for a companion to travel the road, good and bad, that life has to offer "til death do us part." In a series of events with serendipitous timing, Pris and Paul "found" each other, not through match-making family or friends, old college or business connections, singles bars or cruises, but with the aid of technology and their personal sense of adventure. The couple's charming "her view/his view" chronicle will give hope and a little nudge to folks out there who are just "not done" with exploring, learning, sharing, and loving the great gift that is this life.
