Some travels stink!

Poor Channing ... he was sent back to India again. He really had a good experience with his first trip to India, even asking to stay longer and be transferred to a different job. I suppose it's true what they say ... be careful what you wish for! This time, not so good. He is in a different part of India this go round and communication seems to be a problem. He is working with some fellas from Russia and some from India. None of them speak English, and Channing doesn't speak Russian or Hindi. Guess sign language will be the order of the month! He seems to be in an area where getting out of the hotel and wandering about is not advisable for safety reasons, and the food ... well, not sure what he has been eating, but we do know that he dined on prawns almost every night during his first trip and couldn't understand why his buddy in another part of India kept complaining about the food. Maybe this is that "other part" of India?? But we really are so proud of him, opening up his world to all of these new experiences. He has become so independent and someday he will look back on all of these experiences and remember them fondly.

And Rick and I were just talking about how we never imagined that someday we would be traveling to Ethiopia!

I keep thinking about the clothes I want to take and trying to whittle the list down ... it looks like things will be cooler there than it is now in steamy Texas ... yea!!!

Day after tomorrow!!!

Day after tomorrow ...

Keep things on your trip in perspective, and you'll be amazed at the perspective you gain on things back home while you're away...One's little world is put into perspective by the bigger world out there.
