Great to hear from you guys, and sorry about the mishaps. I'm with you, V. I always, always pack extra undies and socks. I recently went to a wedding out of town and only packed three pair of socks for four days. ARGH! The next time I travelled, I found that I'd packed 11 pair of socks for 5 days. I'll bet next trip you bring double the number of undies.

Hmmm. The eye. Can't guess what it could be, but do take it seriously and get some medical attention if it's not getting better.

Looking forward to more stories and pix!
