Look at those girls -- they're sure going somewhere! Grace (3) and Kate (1) just came to visit me from Michigan.
I forgot! My Mom wants my entire itinerary. :) I skipped two trips in the last post.
- Argentina -- September 5 - 30.
I will visit three cities that LifeWind has begun activity in to determine where to live: Cordoba, Buenos Aires, and Rosario. I will also look for an apartment, visit the current CHE programs, and attend an urban "TOT1" (Training of Trainers, first step). I have taken a TOT1 already as part of the acceptance process with LifeWind, but this one will have an urban focus. It will be facilitated by Bibiana MacLeod and Stan Rowland. Bibiana is the Regional Coordinator for the Caribbean and South America for LifeWind, and although she lives in the Dominican Republic she will be my direct supervisor. Stan Rowland is the author of the CHE program, now used by development and mission agencies throughout the world.
- San Diego -- September 30 - October 4
That's right, I get off the plane after an overnight flight from Argentina and drive to San Diego for the American Osteopathic Association National Convention. This course will provide needed continuing medical education credit and I will be able to stay with my stepsister Karina. I'm also trying to convince my friend Jenny (and possibly her family) to attend the conference, like we did last year in Las Vegas.
The pictures above are of Jenny's kids, so you can see why I would want to see them (although hitting the town with Jenny sounds like fun, too). They are also great travelers, so they fit with the theme of this post!
