Wednesday November 15

In typical Berrier fashion, my siblings are all drifting away from the "Christmas at Steve and Hector's" idea in favor of ideas of their own. After some initial disappointment, I think it will work out well. Hector and I have decided to extend the December Mideast trip so that we fly from Amman to Rome and spend Christmas there with the Pope. There's a Marriott in Rome, so the hotel is on points... and we would have to fly past Rome anyway to get back home...
