Summer Holiday's Over

This was a very strange, short summer break. Six weeks is a long vacation, but it can seem short when you're never anyplace for more than two weeks, like we were this year.

But, we did get to spend two weeks in Florida with one daughter, two in Virginia with the other and our granddaughter,

and two in New York with family. That's the "glass half full" view. The other side is that we weren't in NY nearly long enough to see many of our friends there.

Now it's time to get back to work and I'm looking forward to it. VTF 2008 is made up of two teams and we're looking forward to meeting them in eight short days when they step off the plane in Hanoi. Our team will be back at the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam; the other will be enjoying the cool weather at Dalat University. Their training starts a week from Saturday! Can't wait!
