I've talked to mom on Skype today, and it sucked, because they have very slow internet, but it was kind of cool, because they were able to use the web cam, and I used the web cam as well... Well, I asked her how much the high speed internet was over there, and if they'd consider getting it. And they said yes, and that they were going to try to get it as soon as possible, because they really want to be able to use Skype. In fact our mom was so excited talking and being able to see us, that she said she is tempted getting a computer herself, but for now she is going to use Rena's and Jirka's laptop with them... So, if they have high speed internet before our trip, we'll consider staying there. We would probably still stay until Monday night at dad's.

As far as the crowding situation at the house, we will definitely have to have a solid "sanitation crew" and plenty of hand soap. That's really the most effective way of preventing spreading disease. I am going to get some this week from Bath and Body Works, since they're having a sale.

I guess as far as bathrooms, we should all bring 2-3 toilette paper rolls and 1 box of tissues (per family). I am not sure if we should do paper towels or not, but to me it is just something that could be a big waste. Instead, we should have lots of clean hand towels availabe, that we could wash frequently...

Gotta go,
Ika

P.S. if you all want to start suggesting stuff that we need to bring or do, I will try to write them down, and right before our trip, I will post a summary, to help us as we pack...
