We're going baaaaaaack!

Well the summer is quickly wrapping up for Kelly and I. We have had an awesome summer dividing our time between Winnipeg and The Pas. We fly out of Winnipeg Sept 11 so we have an action 'packed' week ahead. Kelly flys to Orlando tomorrow morning for a "Zumba" fitness convention until Sept 7th. I am heading out west for a bike trip with Mom and Dad to Grande Cache to visit the McLaughlins and will return to The Pas Sept 9 to make finishing touches on packing then head to Winnipeg.

Upon arrival in Kuwait Sept 12 we will spend a few days unpacking boxes and getting our rooms set up. We luckily have a nice 5 day holiday from Sept 17-21, before school actually starts, so Kelly and I have booked a little get-a-way to the Maldives Islands. We will see our first teaching day Sept 27th.

The only other 'carved in stone' trip we have is to Uganda on a trek with the Silverback Gorilllas of the Impenetrable Forest National Park. This is a 4 day Gorilla Trek which starts in the Capital of Kampala. We will embark on two separate Gorilla Treks over two days to try and find these highly endangered animals. Once we (our group with a guide) locate them we cannot come within less then 5 meters of the family and can only stay for a max. of 1 hour. The cost......... Priceless.
Be sure to check back for photos and stories from our first few days back in the Desert.
