airport

---

SO i'm here at the airport in D.R. flying to miami again. the plan was to go from miami to Honduras TODAY but my flight from santo domingo to miami was delayed, so i'll be spending another night in miami and then on to Honduras tomorrow. We've officially been approved to go to Honduras by the State Department, so pending a civil war, it is for sure that I'm going. i'll be doing another homestay for a while and do my training. I won't officially start Peace Corps until September 26th, any time before that I'm a trainee.

D.R. was good, but I think we're all just ready to get going in Honduras.

Hope things are good with everybody else at home!

ps - pictures will be coming soon!

Hey Joe!!
Hey Joe!! Long time no see right? Marianne sent along your blog link so I thought I would send along a message. Glad to hear you will be finally on your way to Honduras! I have been keeping up with the news here and thinking of you! At least you got to hang out in the D.R. for a little bit. I was there on vacation last October- what a beautiful country. Anyways, hope all is well and be safe! I look forward to more blog postings (I am now an official subscriber to the Joe Tierney blog) -Lauren

Buenos Dias Jose! i am sure you are anxious to get to Honduras and get settled and get started! I am glad the State Dept waited though for your safety, etc. We miss you and i am planning to call Mom to see if you're there now. Andrew went to Nantucket with Curt today...doesn't that seem like a world away?? I love you, Mrs. G.
