great time we're having on their inheritance :-)


I particularly like (c) 8-)

The kids STILL tell the story to great laughter.

That trip, BTW, was the first with a phone of my own and I have vowed NEVER to
go to Europe without a phone I can use. $0.39USD per outgoing minute anywhere
except Asia/Australia, incoming minutes free. The phone was $60USD and I used
99 minutes, $39.61. Best $100 I ever spent.
