My Blog Followers

I am so excited that my 3 children and several of our friends have signed in as followers!! Every time someone new signs on, it's like getting a Christmas present! Some of my Hungarian family members have also signed on! Thanks Sanyi, Krizsta and Kitti! Sarah, thanks for your help concerning the wireless notebook connections.

I'm actually going to Baton Rouge tomorrow, and I'm taking my notebook with me. Thought I'd find a wifi spot and try it out. We'll see how that works. Also considering a Skype account which, I think, would let me talk and see my family/friends who have microphone and camera on their computer. Still checking that out. There's another plan called "callineurope" that sounds promising. You rent a phone from them, keep your same cell phone #, and the international rates are really reasonable. Let me know if you know anything about either of these.

I spent almost all day copying documents, and I'm still not finished! I copied our passports, credit cards, ATM cards, flight information, tour tickets, travel insurance documents, medical insurance cards, eurail pass tickets, driver's license and birth certificates. Still have to copy our hotel reservations and final itinerary details. Can anyone think of anything I'm forgetting? I made copies for Mechelle to keep here so that she could fax to us if needed and a back-up copy to hide in our luggage. I have all the originals in a folder that I will keep in my possession until we get to Europe. Then I will keep the real important stuff, like passport, D.L., credit & ATM cards, etc. in my mail-bag style purse that I will take everywhere with me. Wayne will also carry a mail-bag "man purse". The first one who teases him about that is going to be in BIG trouble from me!! Let me know if you have better ideas or precautions about all this.

I also called Continental and British Airways AGAIN today, and FINALLY got to talk to a person! I am relieved because both said that our C-pap won't be counted as one of our 2 acceptable carry-ons! Yea!! That means we can take our 21" roll-aboard, our "purses" and our C-pap as carry-ons, and we won't have to worry about lost luggage or go through checking and claiming baggage. That is really a huge relief for me!

So-o-o, I'm getting some things organized, and feeling a little less nervous!
