... the orphanage. We will have a little party for her and the kids. After that, we'll take off to explore the country for a while. Ligia will head back to New York on January 16th, but I will stay in Malawi until the 23rd. From the 16th-23rd, I will be volunteering at the orphanage every day and sleeping at Ireen's house.

I'll try to update my blog a few times each week to let everyone know what we're up to :o)

... thank Leslie Rudd for his generosity in allowing this trip to be possible. His friendship has grown to mean more and more as our swim workouts go by! Also, the NC State PRTM Department has been gracious to understand and support my excursion this winter. I am truly blessed with friends, family, and colleagues who have graciously prepared me for this journey. For the path, Henri Nouwen and my fellow ASC goers will keep me company.

... at Stafford, VA, at a Bob Evens restaurant, which is a chain restaurant we stopped at a couple of times last trip, but had forgotten how good the food was & how cheap! I had a turkey dinner, which was sliced turkey breast and enough stuffing for 3 NZ helpings of stuffing, baby carrots, mashed potato & gravy, cranberry relish & two huge biscuits – all for $9.99. Note – this was actually our ...

Our Thursday performance was at Duke University in Durham, NC. The campus truly is beautiful, but like any school that believes more in sports and science than anything else, their theatre was falling apart. The stage was VERY old and uneven, which made building our set a bit tricky. Their Technical Director, however, toured with our company about 12 years ago... and with one of my cast members! The reunion between the two was hilarious, as neither knew the ...

... is, for those of us living in Southern California that means a nightmare in traffic and a two hour car ride into the mountains... until now! This unique outdoor skating venue will transform the way Los Angelenos experience the holiday season. Imagine no more treks hundreds of miles to get the chill of winter, we're bringing the wintry outdoors of the north right to you in Woodland Hills! Woodland Hill Ice located in the San Fernando ...

The fifth day, we trained at the largest chicken plant in the nation: Mountaire. We flew to North Carolina. The people were so nice there! They loved what they did and that made me smile. They gave us a tour of the chicken plant and I don't know what I was thinking when I agreed to do it. I thought it would be fun, but instead, I have now become a vegetarian I think.

We started the tour and it seemed fine as you ...

... uge med dette fag/arbejde -
det er jo den vildeste mulighed man kan forestille sig at få på Kenan-Flagler Business School (UNC) -
der er potentielt meget værdi i at blive optaget på dette fag!

Så der er nogen, der vil mene at jeg hurtigt fik byttet Industrial Organization (mikroøkonomi-pjat)
ud med dette fantastiske fag!!! :-)

Håber I alle har det godt,
De bedste hilsener,

Flyveturen

Moster Birgitte og Peter gav mig en super god afsked i lufthavnen, hvor vi drak en latte og fik en god sludder om mit forestående ophold. Turen gik smertefrit for mig. Vi fløj direkte til Washington DC, hvilket tog ca. 8 timer. Vi havde 2 timer og 15 min i transit, hvor vi skulle igennem immigration. Denne proces tog tid og vi endte med kun at have 15 minutter at løbe på før vi skulle på flyet til Raleigh-Durham. Raleigh er ...

... Markay left her cellphone in the car. No big deal, our cell phone wouldn't work in Ecuador anyway.

Flight to Atlanta was uneventful but departed and arrived early. With almost 3 hours to burn in the Atlanta airport, we visited some shops (way expensive), eat some lunch (way expensive) and rode the underground shuttle a couple of times. The boys love the shuttle train and could sit right at the front to see down the ...

... a call to Delta, I found out that they wanted to charge me an extra $100 to remove the first leg of P's flight and only use the return leg. Yes, you heard that right, Delta wants to charge me more money to fly less. Needless to say, Delta did not get any more money out of me. As a matter of fact, how that I drove up here to NC, I brough all of my bags so I don't need to check anything ...
