It works!!!!

So this is how we're going to deal with posting pictures. We will have a few different memory cards on hand with us. As we find internet cafes that will allow us to burn photos to cds, we will do that. Then we will mail a copy of that to Heather's mom. She will inform us when she receives it and will then upload it to Picasa for all to view. Then we can clear that memory card and continue the process. Yeah!! Thank you mom!!! So you will get words about our adventures before the pictures. No biggie.

Other than that things have been winding up and winding down here. Chris had his last day of work today and we've been doing some final last minute things. I think we both have a mixture of excitement and nervousness happening, but that's o.k. We do have our tickets to Bangkok purchased, yeah!! We'll be there January 14th. Just a quick jaunt to Australia but that's how it needs to be on this trip. We'll be back, promise.

So I'd been having some difficulties getting a confirmation from the glacier walking company via e-mail. My cell phone wasn't allowing me to make an international call and the phone lines are so bad here we couldn't hear people when we were making international phone calls, so communication was difficult and I was getting a bit worried. I finally shot them another e-mail with the hopes they'd e-mail back. This evening I got a call on my cell from a mysterious number. I usually don't answer those, but I did. This woman was speaking on the other line. I could tell she was speaking English but I just couldn't make out what she was saying. Right away I knew it was the glacier company, so I concentrated really hard and got all the confirmation information. How nice of them to call me. Apparently whenever they were e-mailing me it was bouncing back. That has me a bit worried but I haven't really had many people say that to me before, except Laura. Hmmm..I hope that doesn't happen while I'm gone. Aghh. So after we got off the phone I was happy to know that we will be playing on the Franz Josef Glacier on December 28th!!! I just hope I can learn how to understand New Zealanders better when they speak.

And on that note, we're out in just 2 days!!!
