updates…

So, a lot has changed since our initial plan… as you may understand from the title change. Jafe and I have come to terms with not being able to take six months off during the next transition in our life. So, we’re opting for possibly six weeks. We do know we’re definitely planning two weeks in Japan with our family (Danielle & Jason), which may include things like sumo wrestling, temples, gardens, etc. We’re lucky enough to know Danielle who studied in Japan and still keeps in touch with her house mom who plans to travel with us… like a personal translator. Though I trust Danielle’s mad skills too.

We’re also trying to plan a trip to Africa with an organization I work with called 4 Osprey. Once that site is up and going I’ll get you a link. Very exciting concept by my boss and friend Rebecca.

Don’t lose hope in us, we’re just juggling a lot of options and trying to get them all to land in the perfect spot.

I also found this site the other day, and keep meaning to blog about it. International Volunteer HQ seems to be the same quality for better pricing. I’m still irritated that I have to pay to volunteer, but I understand there are cost and fees to cover. Just seems like I should be able to walk into any town and offer up free help in exchange for a place to sleep. Anyway, this will be more legit on resumes for both of us. Check it out!

I finally sat down to work on my proposal to Krannert Center for this six month leave, and I started to realize all the benefits a performing arts center could attain by travels in developing countries. I started a list ... [Continue reading this entry]

living vicariously through myself

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
I have to include this conversation Danielle and I had in five minute intervals as our phones randomly hung up on the other person. Somewhere in there she said she was living vicariously through me on our plans, and it's ... [Continue reading this entry]
