[wishin' on a star]

Liz called back to say that they changed it to a 7 passenger vehicle.

Great news! I knew they would want to make it better for you guys!

So glad they switched the vehicle.

10:30 pm EST, and the three girls are finally packed. Two adults not. Neither are carry-ons, meds, etc. But I have lists, and the night is young....

I'm in my element right now.

Thinking of you and I know your having a BLAST!!!!

 

[yinyanggirls]

Hehehe, Everyone is upstairs in our hotel room thinking I'm at the front desk asking for an exta blanket. . I couldn't resist the chance to check in and say HI!!! to everyone. The wish trip was amazing, but exhausting, and went unbelievably fast. On Thursday night Tim heard me say something about packing and replied in shock "we leave tomorrow????".

Saturday we hung around St Augustine before heading north to Charleston. Wow, that was a day I wish I could forget. Details coming in the trip report. I'm mulling over some posible titles already, and today the whole carfull agreed that a good one would be "SQUIRRELS, DUCKS and COCONUT BUTTS". And I'll leave you with that.
