Leaving On A Jet Plane... Again!

For those of you who don't already know, I am going "home" for a week and will be leaving tomorrow afternoon! I have been waiting 2 months for this trip and cannot wait to get out of here, especially after the last two weeks! And, even more exciting, I was given extra baggage allowance by the airline to bring down loads of school supplies that will be going to Sosua Kids. I believe I have enough supplies now to help send about 15 children to school next year!

In order to leave the country you have to pay 10-20$, and I have always wondered what would happen if you refused to pay. Maybe I will try it out this time so that they can keep me! And, if not, I will talk to you all soon!

Lest We Forget 11-11-11

Many people have commented on the fact that I haven't been wearing a poppy this year. And you know what? Scoff all you want! I see people walking all around me with them for maybe 2 weeks of the year while they "remember" things they know nothing about. I, on the other hand, not only have a poppy in my office next to a picture of my Nana but I wear one on my heart 24/7, 365 days a year for both of my grandparents. I chose not to wear one this year but that does not mean that I have forgotten. I will never forget.
