However, before I'm ready to leave the country, I have a million things to do... Vaccinations, medical testing, packing, moving, preparing guidelines and materials for my successor, loading my new computer with important files, getting my green card documents sorted out, getting a visa to China, among just regular things like sleeping and breathing... I haven't done those latter things for a while...
And today is my last day at the Intercultural Communication Institute (www.intercultural.org). What a bittersweet day! It is very quiet day, which makes it easier for me to process closure at so many levels.
So here is what's going to happen next. I'm flying to Finland on Wednesday, August 8 and Greg is going to follow me a week later. Oh, and Greg's birthday will be August 27! We'll celebrate that in Finland! With lots of Finnish cake!!!

Yet another transition. I hope it is going well. Miss hearing from you two, but I am sure it is one adventure after another.

Hey there you two - lots of warm wishes for Greg's b-day and your lovely anniversary. I can't wait to follow you both on your adventures. I'm getting ready to start my own (leaving Microsoft to start my own biz - Intentional Work, LLC).
Can't wait, can't wait!!
Onward w/love,
Sylvia
