Hi Jib's, what a wonderful blog, as your dad comments, we feel like we're there, although I'm pretty sure you're glad we're not ;-)
I'm sure once you get more settled and school commences, you may find you're in need of "supplies". Whatever they might be, either for you and your pals or perhaps more importantly, the school, please feel free to let us know, I'm sure we could rallie whatever you need and as I have great access to all international courier services, we can get whatever you need to you pdq.
