I'm not sure if anyone will even bother to follow any of that (hopefully my mom) but it is going to be an exciting trip! I will give updates as often as I can. Please post messages to me or send emails (gradyae@gmail.com) so I have updates from home whenever I get online --- especially if you are hoping to get some souvenirs when i return (wink, wink).
lots of love & cheers,
Annie
