Well, just one more sleep until I leave for Suriname! The last three weeks have flown by, but I think everything is done that can be done to be ready. The bags have been packed and re-packed just to squeeze in a few more things. Sorry, Penny, but the seashell bikini top just didn't fit (me or the suitcase)! I leave at 8:50 from Grande Prairie on Thursday morning but don't actually get to Suriname until almost midnight on Friday night. There is a 7 hour lay over in Toronto and about another 15 hours in Trinidad. Not excited about the Toronto layover but the one in Trinidad will be just fine. I'm looking forward to time by the hotel pool to unwind and move into a little slower pace that I'm told is to be expected in Suriname. Don't laugh...I can slow down.
It was nice to have the opportunity to say farewell to family and friends at the two get together's leading up to departure. Thanks to everyone for the parting well wishes and goodies. I'm sure the time will zoom right along and I will be back before you know it. Of course, you know I will miss you all, but Cassandra (my grand baby) will be just a little harder to leave behind.
My plan is to try to journal at least once a week for the eight weeks that I am away. Doing that regularly will depend on my access to the internet which I'm not sure about yet. I will fill you all in on the work as well as any adventures that come my way.
for those of you that would like to email me you can do so through buskwaw@hotmail.com.
