Hi Guys! We arrived yesterday ?? I think, losing track of the days. No, the day before (duh), thanks to Ngaire and Ken doing some smooth talking and changing our flights. They really are the best, always quick to accomodate if they're able. We had lunch at Chili's/ANC airport w/Carla&Frank - then flew to LAX w/Marcie&Tom (they had a little more legroom than we did tho :D ). Marcie, so sorry to hear about Magoo. We were just talking about doggie health issues at dinner the last night - doggie ins not sounding so expensive now, is it? I hope it works out w/OUT surgery. Also, sorry to hear about Maggie and the kitties. It was sooo wonderful to see all of our old friends and to meet so many new friends. Tough with such a large group - we wanted to spend time with our friends, but also wanted to have dinner with those we looked forward to meeting for so long. Just not enough dinners to be had! Joanna, your PV group fit in so well, the last night I had a great conversation w/a couple of them (you know, you kept embarassing me with them!). It amazes me everytime that with these huge groups, we all seem to mesh - mush - so well, everytime. We will post pics soon, I have to sort through them - take out some of the 25 pics of the same glacier, baby humpback's tail, etc.
