Convincing customs

Since the kids didn't have school today for President's Day, I took them with me to zumba.  After we got home and had lunch, I received an urgent text from Trung...his backpack, with his passport and work computer, had been stolen right out of the rental car.  I did what I could for him on my end, providing phone numbers and information, but all he could really do was talk to the airline and see if they would let him come home without the passport.  After talking to several people, he finally was able to talk to customs, who asked him many personal questions, and finally let him go on his way.  Whew!

Trung took this awesome picture at Whistler.  I am thinking about entering it into a photo contest.

We met Trung's middle school friend in Irvine for a little while; he and his family were visiting from New York and weren't sure if they would be able to make it up to Santa Monica.

Randy and Trung lost touch for several years, until Randy met his wife Mai, who was friends was Trung's sister Mai, and then they reconnected.
