Indy versus the Volcano

We're almost there! Who would have thought that an ash cloud was in danger of messing up our travel plans, though? Hopefully the E-15 volcano and its friends will stay quiet for a few more days and the winds will blow to the north :-)

We got our jackets and blazers today, we've got our brochures and business cards, we've got our presentation ready, we've got our passports, money, itinerary, and duct tape. Now we just have to pack --- no big deal ;-)

We're all very excited about our trip. We had a gathering last Friday at GSE Coordinator Valory Myers' house with the Rotary team who is here from the Netherlands and the Rotary team from South Korea, plus some visitors from Sierra Leone. The Netherlands team is very cool and said that our itinerary looks great. We received the final itinerary this week and they've added a tour of the Mars chocolate factory. I hope I don't accidentally fall into a vat of liquid cocoa and refuse to come out . . . .

So much to do in the next 4 days, both at work and at home. The house sitter is lined up, grass will be mowed, bills are paid in advance, work will be totally caught up (hopefully), and volcanoes will stay quiet. I'll post again before we leave!
