So Lance told me he gave this blog address to the family that is replacing us and another future ICT FAO. And then he ducked. Bright man my husband. Not that I swung. Not that I was really tempted. It was just cute.
So, hi there you FAO people you! How's Georgia? Aren't those walking trails great?!? Make sure you explore the ones behind the dental office as well as the one next to the Commissary. Say "hello" to All Purpose Flour and Mexican Food for me. (You miss the darnedest things.) And don't worry, your next living quarters will be much larger than the hotel rooms you've been living in for the last few months.
Of course as I write this I'm sitting in a small hotel room, waiting for visas to strange countries, quietly cussing in as many languages as I can remember. (I really need to learn to cuss in Klingon. That would just be too cool.)
This, eventually, brings me to the real point of today's entry. This is a blog written basically because we love our mothers don't want them to panic. It's a silly little thing with pretty pictures and grammatical errors. Don't take it too seriously and don't quote me on anything. Except maybe the point about All Purpose Flour and Mexican Food. I really miss those things. Mmmmm salsa.
Don't worry. It will be great, except when it's not, but then it will be great again. Pack lots of sunscreen because it is mad expensive over here. Get all your accounts online and stock up on your favorite socks. Noise canceling headphones are FANTASTIC for airplanes and blocking out noisy neighbors.
And do resist the temptation to smack the Charlie ICTers whining about their move to Europe or anywhere else where going to the ballet is an entertainment option. I know it's hard. Sit on your hands if you have to.
All the best,
Kristin
