Hi Caitlin- thanks for the note. I certainly have family pics with me, both on my laptop and on my iPhone. I miss them but having email and satellite phone access has really helped in the 5 weeks I've been gone from home. I've had a great time up here but I'm also excited to start my way home tomorrow.
