    What a great story about Larry. Thanks for the link!

    Have a safe and wonderful trip! It is hard to leave the doggies behind but the reunion will be that much more special.

    Enjoy!

    Hi there Kit
    I sooooo wish I was there with you to experience it all! We used up all our internet access yesterday with looking at "I" pictures.

    I want to wish you an absolutely awesome experience!! Enjoy meeting up with Ina and send our best wishes to Lance...he is our hero (as you know!)...and we are holding thumbs for all the doggies. Please also give your doggies which you are handling a pat from South Africa. My heart is thumping with the excitement of it all.
    (I suggested to the family that we implement our own "I" here in SA. It would have to be between Cape Town and Johannesburg and obviously the musher will have to control a wheelie!...:))...can you imagine an "I" without snow?!? Hah!
    All the best and lots of love and licks.

    Have a great time!!!

    That's the hardest part of going away by airplane - how much I miss my dogs! I think that's why all our vacations are van trips!

    Cheers! You realize you're "taking" many of us with you, right? So, have a wonderful time, miss them and all of us a lot and come back to share your awesome experience. If you have the time, use that laptop, if you're having too much fun, we will just wait for you.
