Jimmy and I are in Flagstaff AZ and it is cool, colorful, and completely delightful. Drove up last Saturday and will stay till the end of this week at Dad and Mom's timeshare. The trees are changing their wardrobe and it is beautiful. At the beginning of the week we were visited by Randy and Nakaia for a couple of days, and then later Ernie and Sally came up and spent the night in the adjoining apartment. The weather has ranged from the 50s to the 70s, and it is such a wonderful change from the near-constant 100+ degree weather we were used to in the Valley. (Of course, my neighbor reports that it has cooled down since we left!) Today we drove to the SnowBowl to see the beautiful aspen in their golden splendor, and then went to Sunset Crater for a hike around the Bonita Lava Flow and realize once again how insignificant we are in the face of Mom Nature. Speaking of moms, Emily went to Denver to visit Tom and Jan last week, and totally enjoyed herself. Tom was awesome, even flyin...

Ariel and Efrat report they are in New York and still having a great time. After driving up the coast of California, they had a wonderful visit with the Whetstones in Washington, then flew to New York where they sub-let an apartment near the U.N. for a few days. They fly home tomorrow, but what great memories they will take with them. Ariel, we are all awaiting the upload of your latest photos of the trip! Safe flying, and hopefully next time WE can head EAST to your part of the world!

The latest word from Ariel: We just pulled in to a campground in Maupin Oregon (wherever the hell that is..) - and got the last spot in the only [RV] park within fifty miles!!! We've been so lucky so far and always have a spot in any campground we pull into...we even spent the night in the Sequoia National Park! Can you believe finding a place THERE with no reservation?! Spent this morning at Crater Lake - and since then have been hauling ass as fast as possible up thru Oregon - to start touring the Dalles in the morning (along the Columbia Gorge ). We are having a great time... Love and thanks again. Ariel, Efrat, Eran, and Adi

Another note from Ariel: Hi! Just taking time to drop you a note while in McDonalds in Fort Brag... Most of the campgrounds boast WiFi - but most don't work.. so we have been out of touch for several days... anyway we are having a great time - enjoying the beutiful views along Highway #1! Love to all.. Ariel

The following is just in from Ariel... [After a hectic but fabulous couple of days at Sea World, the family is setting out on an RV trip up the coast of California, headed for Washington State.] Finally.....we made it to a campground - for our first night in the RV! we're just getting organized to go to bed.. Goodnight all. zzzzzzzzzzzzz........ Ariel

Here are a few of the newly-uploaded pics from Ariel... They are (obviously) in California now. Visited Sea World and then OF COURSE Disneyland. Also had a nice visit with Larry, and they were able to give him some things from Beverly's estate, at Sherry's request. Click on any pic to see it larger. Or, better yet, click on the link below to see the full slideshow. If you've already seen the previously posted photos and want only to see the NEW ones, go "Back to the Full Album" and then choose page #10 -- next click on a pic to highlight it, and last, click on the word "slideshow" in the right-hand column. THANK YOU ARIEL for keeping us all posted, and for letting us share the vacation with you vicariously!! P.S. The hat Eran is wearing is one Safta Emily gave him... it belonged to Saba Tom, and has a solar panel that operates a fan in the bill. Eran has hardly taken it off his head since Grandma gave it to him! Here is the link for more photos, be sure ...
