D-Day is almost here. After a two year slog through the application process it seems as though we're actually going to serve. We're both eager to get going and a little anxious about whether or not we'll be up to the task.
The "Last Supper" will be tonight in Greenwich, CT with our son, John. Earlier we had a whirlwind tour of the country (Santa Clarita, CA, Tucson, AZ, Dania Beach, FL, Allenhurst, NJ, Tuxedo, NY, Greenwich, CT) to see our children, grand-daughter, brother, sister, long time friends and colleagues. Tomorrow we leave from Hartford, CT for a two day "staging" or orientation to the Peace Corps in Coral Gables, Florida. After 1 1/2 days we leave for Kingston, Jamaica on Thursday, July 3rd. For the first 6-8 weeks we will be in training in Kingston and at our permanent site (still to be determined). Approximately, September 1 we begin the real deal. Hope to keep you all informed via this medium...assuming that we have regular access to the internet. Our intuition would have us believe that it should not be a problem.
If you get the urge to visit Jamaica let us know; we can have visitors after January 1, 2009.
Go Sox!! (and Marlins, our youngest works for them). Gary and Margaret
