Just beat me to it Cécile. 

However, I hear the speaker incorrectly stating his wife as wanting to go to ' la côte EST' not 'la côte OUEST" in this sentence. 

Having been there and driven the narrow roads through the marais last year, I know we were not on the East coast ! My wife has listened also, and hears 'est' not 'ouest' as well. 

I don't think this is a connection issue. 

PS: I have just seen that Bonnie has mentioned 'ouest' so maybe it is current connection, but still sounds very clearly 'est' - thanks for checking. 

PPS: Bonnie’s message may have been too cryptic for me on first reading ! Pretty sure Bonnie heard ‘ la côte est ‘ also, hence the comment on strange happenings in marriages.
