Waiting for Our Luggage

We were wrong. Our three boxes are still in transit. According to Canada Post, they entered the USA yesterday. How soon they make it to Mehama, I don't know, but I hope they get here by Friday because I'm leaving to return to California on Saturday and the boxes have things like my suit in them. Also, there are papers from the WSFS Business Meeting I meant to use this week to update things. Oh, well, it will have to wait on the mail. It was still worth the approximately USD90 we spent to avoid carting an extra 20 kg of excess luggage around with us.

In Canada, inter-city mail would take at least a week and I wouldn't expect intra-city to be under 3 days, best case.
