We finally have all our travel arrangements. Looks like we got lucky and get a direct flight from Charlotte to Rio. We depart on May 8, at 10:30 pm and arrive in Rio at 9:10 am on the 9th.

Team Brazil
We continue to prepare for our trip. We now meet every two weeks to make sure we are getting our papers in order and we are doing the things we need to do. Here is a picture of our team. From left to right: Erik, Paul (our leader), Meg, Me, Nicole, Tracy and Kamilah (our alternate).
Preparing for Brazil
Well, here it is, my blog. I am hoping this will help me keep everyone who wants to know, what is going on as I travel to Brazil. I am hoping to have time to update often as well as post some pictures. I have met my group that I will be traveling with and been through an orientation given by Rotary. This is an unique opportunity and I am grateful to be participating in it. I get to go to Rio for 30 days for the price of my time. Leaving the family behind will be tough, but I get to meet some new friends and make new ones in Brazil. I guess if I do that, I will just have to go back someday and take the family with. I leave on May the 8th and scheduled to return on June 6th. I hope you enjoy my journey as I know I will.
