Travel Date

We now have a travel date. We were approved today to travel and have negotiated traveling on April 15th and meeting the girls on April 16th. We have a lot to do to prepare, so things will get busy very fast for us. Mercedes last day at work will be April 14th, so she will be working hard to prepare for this. We plan to be in Colombia for about a month. Mercedes will be taking 7 weeks off, most likely we will not be sending the girls to school here in Sun Prairie, but we are considering some summer school programs in Middleton. We have already applied for Open Enrollment and hope to find out before we travel. We are getting excited and we can tell the girls are as well. Our adventure is just beginning. MM

My experience with the girls on the phone (my brain went blank in Spanish) means I need to do some quick cramming of Spanish before we go. We will be in Colombia for about 4 weeks. There have been many frustrations in this process, and I am glad we are finally at this point. At the same time I wish we could go now, it's nice to have a bit of time to prepare.

As the girls said, "chao"! AM
