Your Questions Answered
We're swimming under a wave of so many questions, trying to keep our heads above water. So I thought I'd answer them publicly all at once here so that when we return we can waste no time and just get straight to hugging and eating dinners together and drinking good wine.
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
London. Visiting with Deb and Tom take two.
WHERE WE TWO DAYS AGO?
Italy. We did a whirlwind 8 day tour of Pisa, Florence, Ravenna, and Venice. And we LOVED it. Italy was hilarious, gorgeous, interesting, stunning--a great pile of funny cliches too. I wish we could have gone longer, but whose to say it's the last time?!
WHAT NEXT?
We fly to Zambia 3 days. We're excited, ambivalent, a little nervous all in one. We return Oct 24. London for a night, St. Andrew's for 10, London for 2 more, and fy home Nov 6.
Ok, that's the details of now, but here's what you all really want to know.
DID WE FIND OURSELVES?
Sure! We were right where we left ourselves.
NOW WHAT?
Don't know.
KIDS?
Don't know.
WHEN'S MATT GOING BACK TO WORK?
Don't know.
IS MATT GOING BACK TO WORK AT BCTC?
Don't know.
IF NOT BCTC, THEN WHERE?
Don't know.
IS SANDRA GOING TO WORK?
For Christmas season doing flowers again, and then, don't know.
SO WHAT DO WE KNOW?
Our plane lands in Vancouver. Ken and Sonya's will be our temporary home while I work for Christmas. Having it all figured out is overrated.
WAS IT WORTH IT?
Absolutely!
ARE WE READY TO GET SERIOIUS AND SETTLE DOWN?
No way. That's not the last time we quit our jobs and go on a big trip. The world is our oyster...

'vancouver or calgary?'
I LOVE IT!!! Living in ambiguity. Join the crowd.
And HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Ambiguity is good. love, and can't wait to hug you in November. Gwen
Enjoy!
It took me 18 months to 'cope' with life in Canada. It goes without saying that I have not been settled since my return.
If I can offer words of wisdom: relax, don't make big decisions, and treat your travel experience as an adrenaline addiction that needs to be managed.
May you have a generous portion of grace for your return and may others have a generous portion of grace for you.
i love the answer to the last question. me too! me too! me too!
