Hi folks, I appreciate both your concerns and support. We know exactly what we're in for, but having been cooped up for some 16 months and no vacation in the last 2 years, we need to get out of Dodge quick, or we'll go crazy. Besides, bailing out to the Dutch side remains an option.

I enjoy evening dining, and watching the sun set prior to eating, hoping for that elusive green flash, but we'll make do with a 6 PM dinner start time. I heard rumblings elsewhere that the curfew may be advanced to 5 PM, and we're fully prepared for that eventuality. We'll just have our main meal at lunch time, and do more shopping at Super U.

Plus, we're scheduling relocation around the aug/sep time frame, so future vacations may have to be put on hold.

Don't worry about us, we'll have a great time, and if things get too bad, just move to Mary's Boon
