Time Change

Hello Everyone,

Daylight savings time begins this Saturday night for us down here. The time difference will be 17 hours now, or 7 hours behind Niagara time (the next day). We will update the clock on the blog to make it easier.

We have also figured out how people back in Canada can phone our cell phones here are our numbers:

011 64 210 298 9178 - Jim
011 64 210 298 9161 - Jenn

Apparently the best phone card is called Liberty, otherwise it will cost upwards of $1 a minute. Remember there is also a time difference.

Thanks
