Summer begins when people travel

So apparently summer is upon us. How do I know? Well, three friends are packing up and heading out of town:

• Rachael is gone for 10 days to the east coast mainly to visit Gail.
  
• Joanna leaves town for New York on Saturday to study under one of her favourite directors for the entire month of June.
  
• Hendrik is leaving town (precise date not yet known due to red tape) soonish to work for Adobe for the summer.
  

Good luck to all travelers!
