Ringing in the New Year

We are in Amsterdam and it is significantly colder than where we've been (other than the top of Kilimanjaro). Thankfully, we have lots of cold weather gear, so we are set. A little more than 3 hours to midnight...and 2009 will be here. Fireworks have already started and will only intensify from what we've been told.

We are wishing each and every one of you a very Happy New Year. All the very best - our hearts are with you at home.

Happy New Year to all of you!
We wish you all the best and thank you again for keeping us updated with your wonderful trip comments. I think we are going to have to knick-name you Dora and Diego - the Explorers!
Love, Jerry, Mary and all the family.

Happy Belated New Year. I'm doing some blog catching up. I LOVE all the pictures and I'm wondering if you took them all? Beautiful. I'm so happy that you had such a wonderful time and that Gma told me that you are home safe and sound.
Love ya,
