We really are swamped - not just with tasks, but also with decisions:
• Our schedule when we go to San Francisco on Thursday? There's just not enough time for everybody.
• When to fit in everything in our schedule, especially everybody who is coming to visit? We might still have one weekend that's not booked with visits or travel - maybe that's when we'll pack all our stuff!
• What to bring? Do we lug our winter clothes in May or ask someone to ship them? Do I need new hiking boots? Can we find a 110V surge protector here? What are appropriate presents for host families in a country where GDP per capita was about $3,000 last year? What kind of luggage should we bring? How can we fit it all in two suitcases weighing 100 pounds?
What do teachers wear in Armenia? We hear they dress pretty well - far from blue jeans, usually.
Of course, it really doesn't help that I have to mull each decision carefully for a few weeks. I believe it's obvious that it's not Susan who is writing this.

Hi Fred,
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an email, Peter Krag told me about your going to Armenia. I was a PCV 2004-6 and would be happy to talk to you about what to bring, expect, etc. If you are going to be in SF I live here too, but email or phone is just as well if you are too busy.
