VB
Please tell PB that I have been unable to get on the net at home. Apparently My company forgot to pay their bill, so I am forced to go to a cyber cafe to get on. I will try and contact you via ICQ but not sure if I will have any luck.
Thanks

Sure thing, MB.
0936 update: “In the middle of nowhere”, Utah. She is on 191, north of I70, for you map mavens. All is well, and she took my advice to sleep later. She sounds much refreshed, even through the static of the cell phone. She intends to call me when they leave SLC after their stop over.
Let us know when she gets there,VB. Just making sure she arrives safely.

Just checking to see if the lil bears have arrived safely yet. Be sure and give her hugs from us, okay VB??
Thanks for the updates VB.
Hey, if you can and want to, do me a small favor. Purple and i started a small water balloon fight via e-mail just before she left for her trip. Could you make a small water balloon, write my name on it and give it to her. Thanks.
Hey VB it’s something like 0900 or 1000 your time, has she made it yet? (yes I do worry about her!)
awaiting your next update!
My apologies to one and all; We have an internet connection that clogs in the evenings, so I couldn’t get on.
Yes! (drum roll) PB and the two little bears arrived safely last night, 1930 MT.
We fed them sumptuously on spaghetti & meatballs, with salad on the side, and melon for dessert. The little bears and blues watched a movie, then they retired back to the motel for the night.
Mr. Bear, do you have your connection back, or are you still having to go to the cafe?
Glad they made it there ok, VB. Better get a better ISP! 
Hey, I’ve got a great ISP!
Ironically, right after I made the above post, I checked my email, and there was a message from the ISP changing my settings. They’ve completely replaced their servers, and have expanded bandwidth. Life is good!
My apologies, yes I hav my connection back and life is good.
Glade to hear they made the trip ok.
