Ok, I need to vent  a little and I hope you don't mind.  We were supposed to leave Dec 2, but I decided I wanted a new lap top before we left.  I tried to order from two different companies only to be told (after I called them back) the my credit card was denied.  I called my credit card company and found that they have put a block on all transactions out of Calafornia due to a high probability of fraud.  So, if you need to order something from CA you may want to check with your credit card folks before you order.  Ok, so got that taken care of and replaced my order and paid extra for overnight shipping---that was Dec 1st.  Today is Dec 2nd and still no computer.  Called ups and found the shipment is stalled in Indianapolis due to the high volume of items being shipped at present.  Hopefully it will be out tomorrow--Dec 3.  So, keep your fingers crossed for me.  We would like to be outta here before the next snow storm hits  DH would like to ship me off at this point....I think

Debbie, we don't mind you venting at all. In fact it's good to know that these things happen to other people too. I think it's part of that Murphy's Law thing.

Hope your computer gets there soon.
