So proud of both my sisters for doing this as they were a bit stretched out of their comfort zone.  You will hear about:
- The Nowak "No"
- Boblo Island
- Our first sibling trip
- Impact of a cruise ship in Seattle

On a personal note, I just want to say how much I love and appreciate both of my sisters.  We are all so very similar and you can hopefully hear how much we truly enjoy each other.  Our over 20 sibling trips have been a highlight in my life.  

Vicky & Linda - I love you both very much and so happy to have you play such a large part in my life!
