Oh, Wow!! I didn't think it would be THAT much!! I did email Joyce, but she

hasn't emailed me back yet.

I don't think we'll be able to get our insurance to cover it.

This is going to be a fast trip. We will be going on the 13th and returning

the 14th after the appointment.

Thanks, Joanne. I don't think we'll be able to see each other, but I hope all

goes well with Alaya! Is this just a checkup for her?

Yes, we are going for Alaya's check up. We were

hoping to go for the symposium but they moved the date

to Oct. this year and we couldn't make it. Tony's mom

was here from Kenya.

I think as long as Dr. P. is around we will go once a

year. We also have friends there. They are supposed

to go to the mission field this year and we wanted to

see them before they leave.
