New Adventure!

So I guess I'm the last one to blog - sorry! Finally all packed and ready to go. By the time my laundry was done from Africa and Middle East, it was time to repack it for Asia. Just had to add some warm clothes and a heavy coat in case its really cold! I'll check back in after we arrive in Seoul!

Packing Anticipation

It's almost time, GSE-ers. Today I ran to the Indiana State Museum to buy gifts for the generous Korean people we have not yet met who have agreed to host us in their homes. What will they make of Indiana-made goat milk soap, goodies from the South Bend Chocolate Company, and key chains with basketballs on them?

Thank you

Greetings to everyone who will be traveling with the GSE 6560 team to South Korea!

Are you ready for an adventure? I am.

I would like to begin by thanking Duwayno for setting this blog up. You are the man.

I would also like to thank the Sunrise Rotary Club in Indy for the support and sponsorship and guidance. I literally would not be here without you. John, thanks for the surprise phone call.

A big thank you to Kittles Home Furnishings up in Castleton, thanks to the management team, Sandy, Lynn, Beth and Brian as well as Ferd Burgman and the whole sales team. I would list you all but there is so many of you... just know I thank you guys for your support and enthusiasm. I cannot forget Jill Diehl in HR. I am so glad everyone recognizes the opportunity I have been afforded. I will work hard to represent you well.

Thanks to my family, Mom, Dad, Ben, and Annie for the love and enthusiasm. I will bring you back some cool gifts and some even better stories!!!

Thank you again, Sharon. There is not a day that goes by that I don't count my blessings that you are in my life. I love you!

And finally, my class at the School of Metaphysics, thanks for the love and the learning. I am certainly the person I am today because of our discussions and exercises. Thought is cause!

Anyone else who is taking the time to share in our journey, thank you for taking the time!
Feel free to post any questions you have about Korea in the comments to particular posts. I will ask our hosts when we arrive and post them back.

I see this blog not so much as a "read-a-long" posting but a conversation. The experience will be some much more enriching if you share your thoughts and ideas. I look forward to getting to know you.

Time is getting short for getting everything done before leaving next Wednesday but I can hardly wait! Think I have what I am taking finally decided - not in suitcase yet, but that can be done quickly. We will be departing Indy at 7:00 a.m, going through Atlanta and then a 15 hour flight to Seoul. Will spend the night in Seoul before leaving the next morning to Jinju. Now that I find I can post to the blog, you may get really tired of hearing from me :)
