Pre-departure trip









Before leaving for orientation on Thursday, we wanted to post some pictures from our pre-departure trip to New Jersey, Chicago, Milwaukee, Lake Forest Oasis, somewhere in Ohio we're never going to again, Virginia, and back to New Jersey with a stop in NYC. Highlights were seeing family and eating lots of food to keep us full for the next couple of years.

Glad you arrived safely.

Right now I am working on my computer next to Rich. He is excited that he found a widget (whatever that it...looks like little picture on his computer) with a lava lamp. He can apparently have a virtual one on his laptop... and select the color he wants it to be. I share this with you because I'm sure you are in another world. I think most of us live somewhere in between.

Hope you are coping with the heat and lack of showering...since I know a shower was Martin's favorite way to deal in DC the summers you did not have AC.

Lauren, have you finally found a part of the world that does not speak Spanish? Hope the language transition is going as smooth as can be expected. Not too much "smile and nod."

Sent you two good picts to your gmail acct.

Love you both!
Meghan
