That IS good news. I know you two were quite disapointed after the last one fell through .

Does this mean that Andy lost all the music, concerts and movies that Erin downloaded for him from her MP3 player about three weeks ago?! Naughty puppies!!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful offer
Alright. Lets figure out how to get this thing down there. We were going to be out in may but the fridge died and ate our vacation monies (bastard appliance!) If anyone from this side of the world is willing to mule it to Playa, we can ship it to you....

I leave on the 2nd of March if that is early enough.
PM me Taotoon if you can ship it to me down in Cincy, I have plenty of room to pack it.

Let me get hubby to clean it out this weekend and I will figure out how to get it shipped. Apparently he lost the power cord so we need to grab one of those first. I swear that man would lose his head if it was not attached

Geez. In Tohuku? How fast was the car going? That's a really tight neighborhood. Poor things. Pugs don't seem to back commonplace here.

Hey, mate, I've got a Sony Vaiio laptop that I can send down in May, if you still want one. It's running XP and, once cleaned, should work pretty well. Though it sounds like you're pretty well covered.

Let me know.

There was a delay in getting a new power cord so we are not able to send it down with Sharon as planned. As soon as hubby gets the new cord and gets it cleaned up it will be on its way.

Computer has its own piece of luggage and checked in... 55lbs with all the goodies. Obviously, this one is assembled in real a steel case. Guess it should be dog proof except for the cables...

Would have donated a laptop this round but hit the weight restrictions on both bags... and my two carry ons are stuffed. I'm confident I'll find someone leaving from Minneapolis in a few weeks and will send it down with them.

OMG I didn't think one could drive that fast in that neighborhood. Anna, I am so sorry to hear this. Now I am going to worry about Cammy, Tyra's dog, but I do believe she walks her on a lead. Still, that is just scaring that this happened
