After a whirlwind weekend of working, packing, prepping, cleaning and readying (we enjoyed a rare treat on Sunday when friends babysat for us… so we could work… how’s that for weekend excitement?) we left Monday night for Mobile.
Tuesday, Paul tried to get in as many hours as he could while I wrangled kids and continued in the readying process. One afternoon trip out for sunglasses (can you believe that my super-fair hubby does not have a pair of SUNGLASSES?) and they were ready. Dad and Paul took off from Mobile, met up with Skip in Houston, and arrived in Las Vegas without incident. Paul reports that their fellow rafters seem nice and include several from the UK and least two families with pre-teen aged kids. They were very excited and full of anticipation over the coming adventure!
They emerge from The Hole at Pearce Ferry sometime next Thursday.

We’d been asking ourselves that same question: Where in the world is Wombat? Matt said he had not seen Paul online at ALL this week. He sent an email, no response. He left a message on the phone, no response. Yesterday we finally got word that Wombat is just on a trip. We forgot…

Paul worked himself to the bone last week (actually, we both did) trying to use every moment he could to get extra hours before leaving. Both jobs were going crazy plus Abeona stuff. He probably didn’t check his personal mail. I heard the voice mail when we got home last night. I’m hoping he the trip is letting him relax (my guess is that it absolutely is!) I’m just happy my Mom is here with me or I would be about at the end of my rope right now!
