Celia Hey Keely! Glad to hear the luggage finally made its way back to you! We had a relaxing few days here in Zurich, the lake is beautiful! See zou on Wednesday at home--unless you are gone this week? Sae hyun see you at home in a few short weeks! love you

Keely Hi Celia! Just thought I'd let you know that our luggage did make it back eventually and everthing is accounted for! Whew, it was a little scary :) Enjoy your last couple of days in Switzerland, I can't wait for you to get home!!! Miss you, K

Sae Sue-hyun: I'm jealous that you are in Switzerland! I hope you have a great last few days! I miss you, see you soon! Love you, Sae-hyun

Celia Al and Keel, glad you made it home safely! I have been away from an internet cafe for a while! I wonder how kitty will react to me leaving him for a month! THANKS AGAIN so much for coming to Rome, it was GREAT! Good memories. :) And it meant alot to me you guys came all the way to Rome! See you in a few short days. p.s. you would have LOVED Venice! next year...???

Ali Its true, Celia. Literally running full speed and hissing. I was just trying to talk cat with him. I think he felt mocked, and he wasn't amused. Roma was great! I can't think of two other people I'd rather have seen it with. Hopefully you're having and enjoyable remainder of your adventure! See you back in the States. Ali

Keely Hi Celia! We made it home. They "didn't load any luggage" for our entire FLIGHT between Italy and Germany!! So, needless to say our trip home was a light one :) Otherwise it was a pretty uneventful trip home, although we did get to have an awesome hotdog/brat in Germany! I hope everything is well in Europe, see you soon! PS Kitty wasn't too happy with us that we left, he chased Ali down the hallway and hissed at her!! It was pretty funny :)

Kris Yea I can't wait for you to come home too, I got my hair cut and can't wait for you to see it

Jane Wine always sounds good. This weekend sure went fast; can't believe you're talking about coming back already! Have a safe trip home. We're headed out the door to go fishing. Will try to get to the FC Lodge open house tomorrow. See you Friday. //M&D

Mazoo ALEXIS PR & KELY (I left out one "e" to make up for the extra one I put in the other day) :) Oh, dinner with you two is always FABulous. I can't wait!! I hope you can bring home a programme from the opera. Safe travels and we will see you soon. Keely, you have to see our new home--maybe dinner here and a llittle evening of Circle of Death? Ali, Aunt Ann is coming tomorrow for a week--all by herself!! (HI, JANE!) <> <>CELIA, thanks for this message board. I started one for Birch Creek. Love to all, Maz

Ali Jane and Maz, Tonight is our last night in Roma. We just bought eight bottles of wine to bring back to the states. You two are in for one great dinner. We are all going to the opera tonight! Perfect end to a delightful trip. We are meeting up with Celia in 20 minutes, so..... Ciao, Keely and Ali
