Oh Postal, a long 43 days I am sure, but that is great. Will he be at Ramstein? You must be counting the hours (never mind the days).

My very best to your son and all of you. My prayers that these last 43 days go by quickly for all of you.

Take good care dear one.

I'm also recommending TJ Maxx -- it's hit-and-miss, of course. This summer we bought three pieces of Travel Pro there, and they've had other top-notch brands as well. I also bought a Ralph Lauren tote for $10; the kind you roll-up, then use for extra space on the way home.
