Hello, friends of Ann and Kent! Ann sent a brief note from Nanaimo, British Columbia, in the northern part of Vancouver Island. Today (Saturday 23 August) they're planning to continue south toward Victoria, BC and Port Angeles, Washington. They'll spend about a week in Port Angeles. They'll pick up email there (and presumably regular mail) and also send their next newsletter. Therefore, the next week or so are a great time to send email for them (but don't wait too long!). In other news, I heard the Contra Costa Times and West County Times had a big spread on them in the Sunday 17 August travel section. I haven't seen it yet. Ann's first dispatch is now on the Times's Web site at http://www.hotcoco.com/living/travel/stories/sue26574.htm . -- Phil Davidson PhilDavidson@compuserve.com http://www.idiom.com/~davidson/
