Update from Mom and Dad

I realize that some of you who read our blog would want updates from Mom and Dad and their big excursion.

I'm sure they made it to the airport in plenty of time since they left before 5:00a.m. for a 7:30a.m. flight. Dad as usual was pulled aside and almost stripped searched. They have to be sure the artificial knee isn't a terrorist device I guess.

A member of the mafia met them at the airport in a huge car. Now it wasn't really, but Dad felt like he could be, talking ninety to nothing the whole way from LaGuardia to the Brooklyn port.

We called as we left Chinese school, about 2:30, which would make it 3:30. They were already in their room and having their first nap! That's the life! I said they had covered a lot of new things in a very short amount of time. The room, though small, gave them a view of the bridge, Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero. They had asked to be moved to a different room because they were so far from everything and Mom still has considerable trouble walking.

They were to embark, sail away, I don't know the correct term here, at 5:00. Hope to hear more from them later, especially if they got to change their room.

Aren't cell phones incredible? Calling from far North Dallas to a boat docked in Brooklyn harbor - Amazing!
