Graham is starting to make calls now. We will most likely have to leave from Seattle or San Francisco. I wish we could leave from Anchorage, but this adds on about $2000, so that's out of the question.
This is so cool!!

Nice! Be sure to get the extended warrenty when you are over there; you'll probably want to return her for awhile when she hits the teenage years...
