The travel has started! I leave in about 15 minutes for the airport for my first trip! You’ll have to wait until next week to find out the destination.
We had some good socialization this week. We started off on Monday with an Islamabad reunion with the Messmers, Schallers, and Spence near Foggy Bottom. On Wednesday, we met up with a friend from Juarez. Thursday I went to a going away get-together with a lot of folks in the Consular Affairs building, where I saw a lot of old friends and made a few new ones.
The week was topped off by dinner with our dear friends Cathy and Jim, who were both passing through town. We saw Cathy recently when she stayed with us in Hot Springs – she is off to Ecuador. Jim is en route from Vietnam on to Hong Kong. We met at our house, then walked over to Clyde’s in Georgetown for dinner. It was great to see them both.
Wish me luck on this new adventure!
