I'm clearly not the best self promoter...I forgot to mention my new FB page! My fundraising team strongly suggested that I create a Face Book page specific to my trips, so I have. Please feel free to follow my adventures and inspirations on FB, as well as here on my blog, and pass my page on to anyone who might be interested.

My incredibly supportive boss has given me the time off to go, but I don't have enough PTO (Paid Time Off) saved up to cover all of the hours I will miss. I'm flying on a wing and a prayer...and picking up as much overtime and Call as I can handle, without wiping myself out before leaving. I don't have a better explanation for going back so soon, except to say that I need to.
