Julie, Chris and I are sitting in the San Francisco airport waiting for our flight to Turkey and then to on to Chisinau.  Thanks to a very nice lady at checkin, our bags are checked all the way through.  Since we bought our tickets for the destinations separately they were going to make us get our bags in Istanbul and check them in again.  Now that boarding has been delayed, it is a very good thing.  We have two large suitcases very full of clothes and school supplies.  Warren brought 30 dresses to the meeting, and Barbara  Beland two large shoeboxes of school supplies.  The 2 bags weighed in at 33 kilos total.  See you all soon.
