A Prayer for Uncle Gene

Uncle Gene had a heart-attack yesterday and had surgery because they found two blockages. He is doing better today. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Thinking of you often
With a special prayer
That God above
In His great love
Will keep you in His care.

Get Well Soon!

This includes documentation required, expediting services, etc. Log on to http://abriggs.com/applevac/index.php

Traveling with Minors
If a child under the age of 18 years on the day of departure is traveling to any of Apple's vacation destinations with a parent whose last name differs from the last name of the child, proof of parentage is recommended.PLEASE NOTE: It is strongly suggested that all children under 18 on the day of departure, traveling with an adult other than a parent, have a notarized letter from the non-accompanying parent(s) stating that they have given consent for the child to leave the country.
