I had three - 1962, 1963 and 1964, and loved them so very much, but they did tend to get on my nerves from time to time.. when i say 'your' that included your precious wife. The two of you are so lucky to be two but think as one.. I sit here selfishly wanting to be the one on your voyage, but I am at the age where some things must be enjoyed through other people. i am sure i am not alone int thinking thist way, and age is not always a factor. But, to get to the point, keep your wonderful messages coming to us, and keep up your spirits. Just remember, you have a large number of people pulling for you and your family. til tomorrow joyce i like that salutation, ‘Willie and his Wanderes’ – so fitting. i applaud your courage to even spend more than a week living in such close quarters with four young children.

Both having to do with the bathroom. First, a lesson from the Dave Mathews Band. As enticing as it may seem, DO NOT attempt to release the contents of your waste tank while driving over an open grate bridge. While this may seem like an easy solution, you never know when there will be a boat passing under you with a deck full of sight seeing tourists. DMB learned the hard way. Second, although you are traveling by bus and not by plane, I can only assume that the facilities are fairly similar. For some reason, the scene from Tommy Boy where Chris Farley gets his tie stuck in the toilet keeps popping into my head. Not that I am saying this would happen to you but I think it best if you just didn't wear a tie, or baggy clothes for that matter, while you are in there. Good Luck! Shawn,
