Hi Everyone!
Well, we didn’t get as far as we had planned today. Our flight out of Cochin was delayed 4 hours, which meant we wouldn’t make our Seattle connection in Dubai. So Karl and I had a very short night and a very long day. We are now staying overnight in Dubai as “guests” of Emirates. We got to our hotel, slept for a few hours since we had been up for 30 hours, then took a walk in Dubai. Unfortunately, we aren’t near too much and have no room in our luggage for shopping…oh well. Things could always be worse! : ) We know your trip home will go smoother.
Karl and I are hoping your activities in Kerala today were much more productive and exciting! We are already missing Lal’s great chai tea and coffee and all the great food. Eat lots for us and enjoy it. I have to say, it’s WAY no fun having to use my forks and knives for every meal!
Thank you for being a great group to be with over the last 2 weeks. We know you will have a great next week.
Hugs to you all – Jennifer and Karl
Well Karl and Jennifer good luck on your last leg of travel. I sent you a premature email today welcoming you to the NW based on your itinerary. Can't thank you enough for the incredible cultural experience you gave these students. Really remarkable and life changing. Enjoy your time in Dubai and safe travels. Thank you. Mark's dad
ReplyDeleteGlad that you got to see at least some of Dubai on your "layover." Thanks for planning and executing such a wonderful trip and lifelong memories for each of the students, and especially Claire.

Jennifer and Karl,
ReplyDeletehopefully you will be reading all of these at home in Portland and that the rest of your trip was uneventful. Thank you for everything. What a truly remarkable experience you have given these kids. They are so fortunate. Look forward to seeing you when everyone is back.

Nothing worse than an additional nights stay on your way home…Hoping that when you read this you are now home :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for everything you have done to make this trip happen…it wouldn't have happened without you and for that we are very grateful…
Looking forward to seeing you all together soon…Graeme and Karen
