Merry Christmas

Greetings my friends. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Things are good. I am good. My tooth is all better. I had to get a root canal. But I was AMAZED.. it did not hurt one bit and it was over in about 25 min. and it cost me only $62.00 HA! When they did the conversion for me on the calculator I thought it was $620.00 and thought that was not to bad. But she smiled and said NO.. only $62.00. I was thrilled and could not believe it. I had a wonderful Christmas dinner last night. Rebecca came in with a whole bunch of others and we had a GREAT time together. They had rented out this hall with an open fire/grill inside. We BBQ'd lamb and chicken and steak. It was really good and really fun. Today is a beautiful day in Punta Arenas and a couple of us are going to the spa at the hotel and get pedicures and a massage. What a treat. Then a dip in the beautiful pool and a carpet picnic in Rebecca's suite. :) I am treating my self by staying in the Dream hotel. We get a discounted price through Raytheon and I just can't get enough of that pool :)http://www.mundodreams.com/puntaarenas/hotel.html
So it seems that I get to fly to Ushia on the 27th of December and get on the National Geographic Explorer. http://www.nationalgeographicexpeditions.com/home YIPEEE! I am so excited I can't stand it. I also found out that Buzz Aldrin will be on the ship. How amazing. Me meeting two men that have been to the moon and back. I am so very lucky.
I hope your Christmas day is filled with much laughter and hugs and cookies and really good food.
Thanks also for all of your wonderful kind emails you sent me and well wishes for my tooth. They worked. It was the cheapest and most painless procedure I think I have ever had.
Computer time and availability is kind of limited. I am at the office right now down at the pier but there is a nice long line awaiting to get on the two computers. I assume that there will be Internet access on the Explorer so I will send you an update from there of how things are going. Here's the cutest picture of my friends dog. Just to make you smile.
Have a wonderful blessed day.
Big hugs
stace
