Picture: Robyn looking chipper at 5 am/S.B. Airport. On her way at last!
I’m pleased to announce that Robyn’s mom is making a strong recovery and so Robyn felt comfortable with catching her flight this morning as planned. As worrying as this was, I’m thankful that we were able to help and that family and friends are pulling together. There maybe one or two more grey hairs on our heads than a week ago, though.
At the time of posting, Robyn should be nearing New York for a brief layover before heading out east. I gather there will be at least one other Fulbrighter on the same flight which is good for morale although I don’t think it qualifies for an upgrade to business class. As for those of us still here, the kids and I are all packed and set to go. I did take out one extra kitchen sink from our luggage (how many do you actually need? 😉 The dog is settled in his temporary home, and the to do list has shrunk down to single digits. Time to start the countdown: T-minus 48 hours…
Thanks again to all who have supported us and help make this a reality. “Kiitti” as they say in Finland.
