Thanks, Masaki! This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Just want you to know that with your new baby on the way, I'm an experienced Grandma!! Just had my third on Thanksgiving Day and Al has nine more that we both love dearly. Just got back ten minutes ago from babysitting two of mine tonight. I must admit, 'Grandma' is the BEST JOB EVER!!!! I absolutely adore them all -- it's SO much more fun than being a parent!!

SO .... anytime you would like an extra Grandma, just let me know!!

Luckily, your baby isn't due before we get back from BAIL. There ARE priorities!!
