October 15, 2008--Nashville

It has been so long since the last entry that you may wonder where I have been...I finished the KDavis Travel year with groups in Mexico and in Greece in October. All the while I have been making plans for the sabbatical year.....it's soon: November 5--had to wait to see the election returns here in the US on the night of November 4!
The sabbatical starts with an early departure on Nov. 5, meeting my sabbatical friend, Kristen-from Seattle, at the Dallas Airport. Our destination is San Miguel de Allende, MX for a month of immersion Spanish study in this beautiful central Mexico town. Beginning early December, we will be practicing our Spanish as we travel in Guatemala and other "habla espanol" places.. I have had Spanish on and off since high school, but living in a "gringo" world, I then forget because I don't practice.
We return to the US for "feliz navidad" then plan for more travel and Spanish practice in Argentina in early January 09.
My work for the next few weeks is to organize my home life for leaving, call credit card companies, my bank, arrange payments for various things while I'm away, get out the Obama vote, and very important--spend quality time with my dog, Bonnie.
The next entry may be Spanish!!! Or maybe not...
Thanks for reading and following along...
