My wife and I spend the majority of the fall, winter and spring months apart. I work mornings and she works evenings. We have only a short time together it has been very rough. I was thrilled to see the innovation of Facetime for the iPhone. So when they went on sale my wife bought her 1st iPhone and I ungraded from my 3G. Although technology can be a crutch at times, Facetime will definitely help us see one another and share some new experiences. Sometimes it's just nice to see a familiar face.....
