whatawookie and saratinia were the first people (besides D) that I told about the trip. You should have seen the looks on their faces as I described the trip.

They are just the tiniest bit paranoid. But, whatawookie is a mom - her protective instinct is very high. And saratinia is a very good auntie to whatawookie's kids - and, apparently, me.

My Mom and my aunts's weren't that worried about it when I told them!
