We’re getting ready for our cruise. We leave next Saturday, returning Wednesday, Sept 8. We will be much less connected in Alaska than we were in China. Emergency contact information and our itinerary are at the bottom of this message. Emergency calls to the ship cost you $16 per minute. It might be better to call our regular numbers when we are in port. Our phones will not work in Canada. If you call our regular number and leave a voice mail, we will get the message when we have Wi-Fi (at a coffee shop in port).
We have a very unusual weekend. Danita spent Friday evening and all day today at a church women’s retreat. She’s looking forward to a good time.
We finished our neighborhood’s test website. I think it came out quite well. You can see it here: hoawebpages.com/snowdenoverlook/.
