When I picked up parents 1 and 3 at the airport on Sunday, Dan and Karen kept asking me if anything happened while they were gone. No, no, nothing exciting, bad, good, or weird happened while they were gone.
So I saw them tonight...... Uh, HECK YES, stuff happened when they were gone, and I'm a little perturbed to only have found out about it all tonight. Apparently, Grandma Lane died two days after they left for the cruise. Andira called the ship's emergency number to get ahold of them, but it wouldn't go through. So she called Norweigen Cruise headquarters a few times, and she was never even able to get ahold of anyone on the boat ever! The funeral was last friday, and Dan and Karen didn't know about any of this until sunday! I have a few words for that cruise line... A close family death is an emergency if I ever heard one, and it's totally rediculous to not find out about it until a week and a half later. I'm suprised and sad also that Andira never told me about Grandma Lane.
Also, Danny got in a bad car wreck during this time, and broke his arm or hand or something, and got staples in his head.
So, the cruise line can shove it, and I'm now nervous that some day I'll be un-contactable in some foreign country somewhere as my parents are dying, or something else bad happens. But probably not. But, at least that would be more my fault for being gout of reach of communication, and not somebody else's stupid fault for not having an emergency system set up that actually WORKS. Huy.
