Was able to see Dad, Mom, the grandparents, and siblings on the webcam from San Diego with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. All at once. We underestimate how cool this kind of the thing is.
Yes, sometimes the beautifully sentimental (gag-me) parts about delayed communications are great, but being able to connect "in person" is soooo nice. We shall see how well it works out for my situations as compared to my dad's.
We spanned from San Diego to home to Afghanistan.
At least we're not sacrificing face-time.
