1 month left until we leave for Romania. Anticipation seems to be mounting. I think that I am more nervous than anything. Just how cold will it be? Will I be able to learn enough Romanian to communicate? Will the people be receptive to us? I have about a million questions racing through my mind. Not to mention all of the things that I still need to take care of before I leave. Christmas shopping, my birthday party, the Christmas party, paying my bills while I am gone, registering for school. It's enough to keep anyone crazy busy. With all that is going on, I'm sure the next 4 weeks will fly by! A little more about our trip. We are a group of 20-somethings from a local Orlando church that will be spending 12 days ... read more

Ahhh in just over 24 hours we will be Europe bound. Is it any indication of how ready I am to go that I am writing this from work? GET ME OUT OF HERE. With some last minute shopping and packing I hope we’re both ready by this evening, but Kamrin assures me that she is a wiz at last minute packing, and could put it all in the suitcase in less than an hour before I pick her up. After seeing most of her close strewn along the steps to her new apartment due to a card board box malfunction during last weekends move, I have all the faith in the world that little lady is a packing marvel. There has been some debate on what exactly to bring. What’s the weather going to be ... read more

Hallo allemaal,   Even een korte update... Ik maak me zorgen voor de terugreis morgen. Gisteren oordruppels gehaald (viel mee: 100 dollar voor het flesje :-))... Het lijkt IETS te helpen (dokter zei binnen 48 uur) maar hoop echt dat genoeg is voor morgen. Want zoals het nu is wordt het helemaal niks volgens mij... Mijn hele linkerkant zit helemaal dicht... Maar goed, gisteravond nog even in Aventura Mall geweest (gigantisch winkelcentrum) waar we ook gegeten hebben en daarna uitgepuft in de hotelbar. Vandaag heb ik lekker uitgeslapen en ben om 13:00 ook naar het zwembad gegaan. Lekker weer en hele dag gerelaxed. Lud is net terug naar het hotel, ga daar ook maar heen want begin BEHOORLIJKE honger te krijgen... Have fun met de foto's!!!   Groetjes,   Ramon en Lud PS Morgenavond vliegen we ... read more
