To be honest I enjoyed the other one more I think. Although this one has had some amazing moments. I’m going to post more when I get home and can put up some pics but some of the key moments:

Chartering 3 floatplanes and taking the group out to some natural hot springs to bath.
Going whale watching and nearly having the boat flipped when a humpback whale decided to pop up 1 meter away from the boat.
Taking a gallop through the woodlands of one of the national parks the name of which escapes me at the moment.

Anyways I could waffle on for ages Bottom line though is that I think I will try and get back out on another trip in October if my finances and vacation time will stretch to it.

She’s been to the ‘plex for either travel layovers or down to Waxahachie for the Scarborough Faire (Where is where we met this year.) As for big plans? Nothing that can be mentioned in public commentary. :o)

Pretty much that’s the opinion of most folks. She’ll come around eventually.

Yeah… I’ll be getting practice in for the 12-hours next week. Then two weeks after that I get to do them in earnest. Yay.

I have no idea. Most said they’re homesick. I think they come here thinking our tech labor market is still booming, and get a little upset that they’re living in cockroach infested apartments and fighting tooth and nail for a job. (Apparently, IBM, the big job source here, fires everyone every few years and has them reapply for thier jobs.)

That or they like to make a crapload of money, then be able to live comfortably in India.

But it’s the same excitement over and over. Mostly.

Why do they come here for a year or two? What’s the point?

Has she ever been to Dallas for any reason? Do you have any big plans while she’s here (that you can discuss )?

Bah. Your mom should be glad you are coming home.

That shift sucks, by the way.
