It's official!

After months of planning and dreaming, Kathleen and I have officially booked our flights to Piura, Peru! We are leaving on Thursday, June 4th, to go to Chicago. We will spend the evening with Erin and fly out at 7:01 Friday morning and arrive in Piura at 9:30 that night. I will return to Chicago on July 22nd.  Kathleen will prolong her stay and tour the country with friends.  We looked at dozens and dozens of flights and I am very happy with the one we chose. We do not think there is a time change so we should not be affected by jet lag. We should be there to help set up for the festival which celebrates the feast of Corpus Christi on Sunday, June 6th.

At this time, I am more excited than nervous. I feel confident that this will be a positive experience and I am thrilled to be sharing it with my daughter. Please keep both of us in your prayers that we have a safe journey.
