Once the ladies revealed their enthusiasm for the flight and cruise plans, I began writing letters and emails to my Norwegian contacts letting them know the basic outline and intended dates for our tour as well as asking for suggestions to make our short time in these regions well-spent.
Earlier this month while visiting a relative, I spied an ancient photo of Grandma Lena's children. I snapped a photo of the photo. Back home, I designed a card – using the image – to send our Norway relatives. Inside, I wrote that representatives of each of these three little girls' families (their brother had no offspring) would be on their way in August to see the Homeland.
Anticipating the Norwegians' replies is the flip-side of Correspondence.
