So, now that I have 1) Rested, 2) Caught up a bit at work 3) Read my Emails and 4) Caught up on all your live journals, I can start letting some people know what happened on the trip to the North Pole.

The funny thing is, you would be hard pressed to find anything we packed that did not get used on the trip, including the emergency survival equipment. After we were packed, we reset the trip odometer on her Father's Oldsmobile Bravada (yes, this *is* your father's Oldsmobile) and took off to drop off the Hedgehog in Mount Vernon.
