Following a cleaning frenzy, we collapsed into the car and drove to meet the Ruthers, our exchange family. Our kids have been wondering for weeks if they were going to "rob us blind," and if they are, it's a beautiful scam. They're very intelligent, gracious, fascinating people. When they told us on the phone that their wireless is unprotected, I realized that we're a pretty good match. Paul put it best when he said that trusting people works "about 98% of the time, and the other 2% won't break your spirit." That's how I like to live too. We're really lucky to have met them online and we're excited to be on our way in about half an hour!
Also, please note. Poor Cecily is everybody's travel agent. She claims that anyone can do it, but I can never do it like she can. This is our "cheap" airport motel. Let's just call it the "South Seas at SeaTac." The kids think this IS the vacation.
