Ardis, is there anything that you and Stan forgot to pack? Do you need more Mucinex? Colds have been going around here and things are blooming in February that usually don't bloom until late March. Let me know. Can't wait to join the Mariner on the 13th. I've been enjoying the Weldons blog. Donald and I really enjoyed Salvador last year. Too bad you won't be in Rio for the final Samba parade. We have great pictures that we took at last year's parade. We only stayed until 1:30A and next time we will stay until morning to see the best.
