Awwwww poor BigDice, Urs. may have had to leave you behind:( {Like that would ever happen!}
Yeah, and I'm looking forward to seeing your town too!
c.i., That's great! Can't wait to see the pics ... haven't you progressed to the digicam yet?
I have mine all at the ready, just delivered last night and it's going to get a lot of use in the next few weeks! I'm looking so forward to it all.
Three more days !!! Yippee ... twirling with Diane!!!
I love my digicam, but urs needs her normal one. She's the type that likes to sit in a cafe' and pass the pics around! Can't blame her, I like that too, but I like it more when we have visitors, start the 'puter, and run the slideshow!
Misti, What do you know 'bout this place?
Ozzie's Crabhouse I want to know if I should print out the coupons!!??
Hunting fer coupons right now!
Oh my goodness! Is he ever having fun!
Two more working days! Yeah! Of course my boss is doing his very best to drive me crazy but what the heck!
Next Wednesday we will visit our manufacturing plant in Daytona. What a nice change to Hechingen!
Kerstin the catsitter was here yesterday. She's all excited that she gets to watch the cats. So everybody is happy :-)
OH! I''ve got a boss just like that, urs. Every time someone leaves on vacation, he drags up every mox nix little situation the human mind can devise to delay the departure. I have my vacation properly marked on the calender - but bet he just assumes it starts on Monday, instead of Friday.
BigDice, I've never been to Ozzie's Crabhouse, but........... there's a fantastic one right here on our strip, you've never tasted anything like them, and the amount they give you is enough to feed an army!
What the heck, what have you got to lose?
Hey Diane, when will you show up?
Listen up, folks, I(we) have now only this evening and two full days to work in the restaurant, 8hr flight to Atlanta, 5hr layover in ATL, 1,5hr flight to Melbourne, 15 min drive and we're in the HOTEL!!!
And then we be twirling with y'all!!
Dang! Sure wish I could have made the trip at the beginning of your visit instead of the end, bd. Are you bringing a laptop to keep us informed, or going incommunicado in two days?
prolly going incommunicado on sunday morning, and Rae and Misti will keep ya updated, unless I find a cybercafe' someplace!
We're not meeting at the end of anythin', roger, we're meeting at the beginning of a friensdship, and the middle of our vacation!
Hey, bigdice, it took me less time for me from San Francisco to London.

LOL c.i.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!! {Oops, sorry Diane, didn't mean to knock you out!}
Now girls, careful! I want to see you all in one piece!
One more working day! With the boss gone all morning.
c.i., I know, I know! The good part is that we get to see my brother in Atlanta. And you know, this will give our soul a chance to keep up with the body :-)

Phoenix! Relax - Melbourne, Florida. But it is pretty funny to watch people's reaction when we are telling them about our vacation. Of course I'll say we are flying directly from Stuttgart to Atlanta and then on to Melbourne. Then I pause, wait for the bewildered look and add 'Florida'.
Australia would just be a side trip. They are still planning on Florida.
Dayandahalf to work!!!!
Got my dollars at the bank!
Took down the siutcases from the attic!
Gonna start packing!
I try to not wear a too stupid smile the whole day! :-)
I'll check that smile thing! BTW, I'm done with work :-)
I am officially on vacation!
Hey this sounds good.
Have a good time, all.
We'll be with you in spirit.
And will look forward to the photographs.
