Several quick notes of thanks...

To Shellie Park-Hoapili, who bought Deb and me a bunch of travel goodies, most notably a travel-size roll of toilet paper in a hard plastic container. We've since used up the paper, but we've repeatedly refilled the container it came in (because you don't want to carry a whole roll of TP with you all the time). Thanks, Shellie!!

--and--

To Alison Kunishige, who bought me my hat (the only baseball-type hat in the entire world that fits my unusually small head). My hat nearly became the first casualty* (lost, stolen, broken) of our trip: I came perilously close to leaving the hat behind, but luckily we hadn't gone too far from where I'd left it. As Deb will surely explain, the hat is the only thing (apart from my (sadly) thinning hair) protecting my scalp from sure solar annihilation. Thanks again, Alison!

--and--

James, Staci, and my brother Mike for providing us with a whole heap 'o podcasts and tunage. Our favorites so far: Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents' Dinner (I have more nerve endings in my gut than in my head. It's true. Look it up.) and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Thanks, kids!

Many more thanks to come when we have some more 'net time with slightly less sticky keyboards (like to Robin, who's currently shopping for a washing machine for us, and to Blaine&Becky for the snacks and baby poop, and Joy for the travel games and KAC gossip...).

*Deb's green pants are on track to become the first true casualty: the unfortunately placed hole is growing too large for even Deborah's limited sense of modesty, and the pants will be discarded soon.
