I don't get this stuff about the vacation. Right around Labor Day, I heard the family was on vacation. That didn't seem a strange time to take a trip, since a lot of people like to finish out their summer that way. But Labor Day has come and gone, are they still not back??

It would indeed be hard to care about a trip, with a crisis like a missing family member ruining every day. We just had some work done on the house, and even that was such a pain that it made me forget about taking one last trip to finish out the summer (which I'd been considering.) Needless to say, their crisis is of a magnitude that I can't even imagine.

Maybe what they actually did was finally move out of that house, as they'd planned. If the school-age kids were doing homeschooling at this point, I'd certainly understand that. Maybe they've actually moved, and just aren't ready to tell the public yet.

Because if they really went on a cruise, I'd have to agree with Jengaio--even if one spouse knew something, what about the other one? How could she even pretend to put a happy face on for a cruise, in such conditions?

Also, I recall saying one time that in my opinion, the fact that they were able to take trips indicated that they probably aren't on the ropes financially. But a lot of people disagreed, saying they really hadn't taken but one trip this summer.

I thought at last week's press conference, Ed and Lois weren't there, they were on a family vacation with their kids. They may still be gone.

It just seems strange to me that they've gone completely, suddenly quiet, after months of constant TV and press coverage. Not saying it's "bad," just curious.

Matter of fact, the Smart family has been mighty quiet since the death of Richard Ricci. Might expect that for a short time, but this long???

Wonder if the FBI is gaining on something.
