Part 2 of first day

Flight delayed to Croatia. Again normally not problem, but now kids REALlY NEED sleep and mommy and daddy Really NEED to sleep too!!!! Okay...got to Croatia, got to apartment okay, went to bank. . . Machine ate bank card...... Went to another bank . . . Another machine ate another bank card. Oh shit..... We are testing the commercial powers of fed ex. . . We are hoping that a bank card arrives in Bosnia on Wed. It has been sent. . Until then, we are living off the good fortunes of my father and western union. One can ask us... Why not use your credit card. . . Well, whether it is left over from communism, civil war, monetary confusion (they operate on two different currencies simultaneously, the krona and the euro). . . NOBODY uses or accepts credit cards!!!!!!! I'm sure if we were staying at the yacht club it would be fine... But the restaurants, grocery store, and Our accommodations don,t take credit card..... So, we changed some very valuable cash over, not expecting to, and we are currently counting Leo as until we can pick up western union tomorrow. Our drama.... All of which would have been okay had we not two tired tykes (who ere ver very hungry) and a tired mommy and daddy......

    I take it that if we get an e-mail from you saying that you are in a foreign country and you need money, we should respond?!

    Send all such e-mails to Rick.

    I already posted my comment to you and I saw it posted, and then it disappeared. Hmmmmmm! The same thing happened when i posted to Sarah. Ben's somehow got through. So I think what I said was that it's a good thing that your Dad doesn't realize that most e-mails are deleted when they state "I'm in a foreign country and I'm stranded without any money." :) Seriously, I wish you new bank cards, lots of rest and good food. And of course continue to inspire you children with this awesome experience. Love to you all.

    Since your beloved arrived, you seem to be posting less. I guess that is the sign of a happy marriage in the modern age.

    Keep having a fabulous time.

    Have you fallen off the blogging page. I miss your reports. Type in the car while driving those hairpin turns.
