staging

Left on the curb

It won't get any harder than this, that much I'm sure.

Of all the good-byes, today's was the most difficult.  Tyler and Stuart drove me to the hotel, pitched out my luggage, gave me a hug and kiss, and left me on the curb wondering how will I ever survive being so far away from my boys. 

I know this separation will affect me more than them.  All I can say is I love them, and I absolutely believe in them to be successful and manage their lives well.  They are amazing people, full of talent and kindness.

Ack, I miss them already!

All China Peace Corps Volunteers met this afternoon at a hotel next to the LA airport for "staging," where PC officials went over material we had already read.  

Tomorrow, we fly west.
