My Kid

Many of you asked how my daughter felt about this opportunity.  Here is an anecdote which should enlighten you.  Her renewal for license plates were set to expire and she knew this for 6 weeks.  They expired because she kept putting off going to the DMV.  Within a shorter period of time she got her passport.  Hmmm...do you think she is excited?  She is my UMD Bulldog...which is sad being a U of M Gopher...but I still love her!

Starting the Blog

Today is April 12, 2012...this is my first blog post.  My adventure begins in 48 days.  I am heading to Manama, Bahrain for an assignment at Bahrain World Trade Center.  My flight leaves on May 30, 2012 and culminates 24 hours later at close to midnight in this Persian Gulf nation.  The distance is over 7,000 miles. Many of you requested I keep you updated so this blog was started.  Please enjoy!
