Coming to a state near you

My round the world post-JET tour is coming to a close. I'll be leaving the sunny British Isles tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I'll be unpacking the bags and calling it quits for good! I'm coming 'home' (a.k.a. Portland, OR) and will settle in, but will have the bag by the door ready to travel most of the summer. Here is a list of places I'll be headed from May-August, if I happen to be passing through your neck of the woods, maybe we can meet for coffee or a meal.

New York City
Washington, D.C.
Birmingham, AL
Minneapolis, MN

The Quad Cities, IA & IL

Fargo, ND
Fort Collins, CO
South India
Vancouver, B.C.
Seattle, WA

And hopefully there will be a hike, a few camping trips, and a weekend or two at the beach in there as well. But oh...I can't forget, I still have a bloody dissertation to write! Frick!

As soon as the dissertation is sent off and submitted, I'm officially headed back to India from September-June as an AIF Service Corps Fellow! Exciting news!!

So much to be thankful for these days!

Off to the UK

In 24 hours two massive boxes, that could house a child, will be on their way to the UK. And I won't see this stuff again for seven months. It'll be exciting to see what I packed and what I thought I might need and want to wear. Slowly but surely my apartment is being cleared out. Only a few more boxes. Yippee!!

Thanks for handling all the logistics RSZ.

Reality is setting in

It's happening. On Saturday several of us spent 3 hours at the post office and shipped a total of fifteen boxes, five of which were mine. Today I went to pre-pack some boxes that will be shipped out to the UK in June. In the coming weeks I'll prepare a box for India. And then there is the little stuff that needs to find a home still...plants, documents, pictures, my fabulous bike, etc. And hopefully it will all get worked out by the end of June. And July will be smooth sailing!!
