Christmas

Merry Christmas!!

I am amazed that within a week I leave for Bangladesh. It will be an exciting adventure. Due to the new bugs I will experience, I am ready for serious GI tract issues with a med prescription and 400 tablets of Imodium AD like product! Thank you Costco!

The only entertainment I am packing are a few books, some CD's and maybe an e-book. If I have the funds to do that. It will make packing lighter. I can only bring 2 fifty pound bags at the check in. That seems like a lot but suddenly it is very light when one attempts to pack for six months. CHOICES!

As for clothing, I am packing for weather ranging from mid fifties at night to 90's in the day. Currently, temperature highs are lower 80's. Oh, those cold nights in the 50's! Right!

My next post will be en route to Bangladesh! The flight is for several hours. I hope the flight crew gets plenty of rest during New Year's!!!

Upcoming Move

Three weeks from today, January 2nd, I will be traveling to Bangladesh to teach at an international school. Something I always wanted to do. Of course it was not exactly my plan this particular year. The commitment is for one semester. The school is called Grace International School in Dhaka. The capitol of Bangladesh. It is a Christian school for children of missionaries. I get to teach science as well as my faith!

Returning to the classroom will be a great experience as well as see what a developing country in this part of the world is like! Over the next six months I will update you with photos and stories of life in Dhaka. Science teacher moments that are successful as well as those moments when the experiment ended in a ball of flames!

Thanks!
