Thanks everybody. You're all so right in that Terry was just trying to let me know that he loves me and he loves and misses Tubby too. I know he does, but being the "guy" that he is, he won't talk about it, but that's ok because like Slick says, I know what he's trying to say and I accept that this is his way of saying it.

Slick, we leave this Saturday the 18th, bright and early. I have to be back to work on Monday, January 3rd, so we will be home probably Saturday or Sunday before that, probably Sunday sometime. I do have my new internet access card from Verizon that I'm going to be testing out on this trip, and most of where we're going to be shows as a "coverage" area, so I should have internet access while we're gone. However, like I say, I'll be testing it out for the first time, so if you don't hear from me you'll know it's not working - and it better work because I signed up for 2 years worth!
