Setback...

Well friends... Remember how I said I was finally going, nothing could stop me now? Well I got a little ahead of myself... I received an email the other day that my Visa would not be ready in time for me to fly out on Monday.  So my new fly out date is June 12th! But lets look at the positives... More time to learn Portuguese, hang out with friends and family, and I do not get to miss planting 5 acres of strawberries...

My First Post!

Well friends as most of you know, I am going to Brazil!! ... Yes, I was supposed to be gone almost a month ago now but, paperwork and VISA requirements got in the way a little bit HOWEVER tickets are now in hand and my fly out date is MAY 28TH!! May 28th and I will be back December 3rd.  It seems like a long time right now but no sought time will fly by and it will be like I never left.

As I spend my last week in Canada, I am keeping things calm. Hanging out at home, visiting people, seriously starting to pack now and ramping up my Portuguese knowledge.  I have mastered one of my four teaching CDs, kind of know the next two, and I understand the rules of the language but ....keep your fingers crossed for me!
