I can seriously remember during our long wait of trip one and two, my huband asking me if I planned on showering anytime soon

Does a dip in the pool not count for something? The wait is terrible, and little can be said or done to make it any easier. But do know you are not alone. We all are rooting for you (and all of you other waiters). It will happen and when it does you see the world in a whole new way
ps. I am going to have to chime in with a ROOOLLLL TIDE

I've got a feeling we will be meeting up soon!
