I'm down to my last few hours in DC. Lots of tears, lots of smiles, too many good-byes. Certain things I should have probably left a little differently, but there's nothing that can be done now. I just hope that I have packed everything I need - Kara didn't to think I needed Dove Bodywash (wdym???) - but either way I will have to make numerous adjustments when I get to Paraguay.
Many people have asked if I am excited; the truth is that right now I am not. This is not to say that there is only the anguish of leaving everything I know and love behind, but one of the many emotions I will encounter on my journey. This is whole thing is so huge, and I really don't think I'll grasp the idea that I'm really doing this until I begin the pre-departure orietation or set foot in Asuncion. In the end, I know it will be an amazing experience.
I still have several things to do, and it would be great if I could get some sleep tonight, so that's all for now...

Greetings, Sasha,
We've never met, but I know of you through your Mom, whom I've known for nearly 40 years (wow! has it been that long?). I was in Bangkok, conducting another series of case research/writing/teaching workshops for the Thai government university when Trish forwarded your "blog site" (is that what it's called? I'm not the most computer savvy of people).
Here's wishing you a productive, fun, and "learning-ful" (not a word, but should be) time in Paraguay. Perhaps we'll meet at some point after your return.
Fare you well in your sojourn.
Pob kan mai, krab!

Hi Sashi
I am trying to print out your blogs for JJ and cannot seem to do so--any thoughts.
