Taking Flight

- Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Charlotte, NC -
The planning, shopping, preparing, packing are all done. I have students' letters, well wishes, and video recordings to deliver in Kerala, and now I'm on my way..this process has been amazing thus far and I haven't left the US just yet.  

I'm actually airborne as I write traveling via Charlotte to DC where my cohort will meet for our transatlantic flight to Frankfurt...pinching myself, as I'm sure I'll do again and again over the next almost 3 weeks!   

What an awesome use of the US taxpayer's dollars!!! Sending teachers as "ambassadors" to learn, investigate, and view, interact, and of course, teach!



- Charlotte, NC to Washington, DC - 
So, I can see our nation's capital below....in flight from Charlotte, will be landing soon. But, wait!!! What do Devon Avenue in Chicago, and India, have in common?!  

Try and read the article, in this month's American Way Magazine, that talks about the stew of cultures that exists on Devon...and Indians are a big part of this mix..



Clearly, Devon is going to be a must on my next visit to Chi Town. But, I'll be back later folks...gotta stow the tray table and get ready for the third segment of my adventure: Lufthansa, I'm headed your way...hold on!
