I spent yesterday hopping from one task to another, unable to settle for long at any one thing, unable to focus, waiting, just waiting..even though I knew that we might not hear that day.

But the wait finally ended. At precisely 7:15 p.m., I got an sms from Bjarni saying they were fine, had loved the cruise and barely felt anything. It was such a relief! I felt ten tons lighter. :) (I wish!) And then Bjarni called, using Skype. It was wonderful to hear his and Ewelina's voices! :)

Mostly Bjarni and Einar exchanged comments and news (in Icelandic) but after a while, I interjected a query about their next plans and Bjarni switched to English. They are planning more trips over the next few days, working their way even further south. This means they will be incommunicado, again. :/ Ah well, at least we know they are okay for now.

Andri came over to visit and share dinner with us, so he caught all the news as well. And he also got to see his nephew as we used Skype and called Brynja and Hinrik to let them know the good news. :)

I'll be very glad when our kids have gotten this wanderlust out of their systems for awhile! The heart and nerves can only take so much! Sheesh!
