We had our pre-departure meeting, and we're now ready to go. There really weren't too many questions, so I think the group has been well informed by Mr Boulka, Mrs Lausche, and Mr Borgstrom.
One question that has come up again since the meeting is the use of a calling card overseas. Here is my take on it...
Some cards say “international” on them. This means you can make international calls with them. However, to use the card, the instructions on the back say to call a certain 800-number to access the system. Those numbers won’t work in Germany and Austria. So, you need a number that you can call in those countries to get into their system to use the card. If the calling card you are looking at does not offer this feature, it will not work. AT&T and MCI both have toll-free access numbers in both of these countries (and virtually every country in the world), so I know their calling cards will work.

I think that we will have a excellent time overseas and will indeed deepen our appreciation for the music we love and where we live and where our heritage lies.
I am very excited to see Germany; my family tree begins in Germany and I hope to see where my roots are.
I also hope that we can "disconnect" from our daily lives for a short time and just enjoy being in a different culture and not have to be so "connected" to our lives via cell phones and text messages and whatnot. My family knows how to get a hold of me in an emergency and knows that an emergency is the ONLY reason I will be checking in.
Thanks to you, Mark, for doing such a great job of being a tour director. It will be good to have an experienced person in charge!!
