I still haven't completely figured out the customs form. I'm like Sea*Mom - I do the "click & print" but I keep getting stuck with the customs form. I'm going to give it another try & see what I can figure out....I might just have to google it like Tricia suggested.....
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I got a little Christmas shopping done so that was nice.....
We found a poster shop while out this weekend & got a map of the world for $6.50 and they framed it for $15. It's nice & big...we're going to buy a grease pencil so we can track the Truman. It's an awesome poster!
Does anyone have any cool Christmas gift ideas? They have such limited space, I'm wondering what to send. And I don't think cookies will be too good since it takes a while to get there.

Got an email from my Sailor! He sounds great. Had some really cool news to share that I might post a bit later. So everyone should hopefully be getting something soon! In the mean time I wanted to share something else he wrote that some of you might need to hear..
----------------------
"So obviously our internet was restricted the past week or so. I just finished reading through all the emails I accumulated. But I've been told that when internet is restricted all our incoming emails are archived and then doled out to our respective email accounts when we log back in. So what that means is that sometimes emails are late. "
I don't normally write on here, (but I definitely read each and every one of your comments) but I gotta share this. Been getting a flood of emails from our sailor, finally, and got a kick out of his Christmas present request. Text books and study guides on getting a particular mechanic license, also pertaining to his job. I never would have thought he'd send a letter to Santa, asking for text books and study guides. He's 13 years in and planning on re enlisting on this trip, God willing, and we couldn't be more proud of him. These sailors make me strong.
Awesome thanks 1Bodyprof! I know my son will eventually do it (so he says) but just hasnt taken care of it yet. I really didnt want to miss the ornament so thank you so much!
My son gave me his before he left. He didn't get me signed up for the FRG newsletter tho and I really wanted to order an ornament or 2. If anyone has another way that I can get an ornament let me know. I am so happy for those getting calls and emails! Can't wait for one to come here...but I am sure they are all trying to get communications going to their own families.
