Our trip home will take us to the USA for 3 weeks. We are having a week's long holiday which will include 3 days at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and then several days shopping in Charlotte, North Carolina. Then we are attending a 2 week leadership course with our mission in Charlotte. Leaders from all over the world will be there and we will get to hang out and learn from each other and those in the International leadership team. The boys will have their own programme with the other kids which will include a little bit of school in the morning and then lots of raucous fun. We are looking forward to it all.
Disney has always been in our minds as a special "we survived leaving" treat. It is kind of like the icing on the cake....placating us after a tough couple of weeks of goodbyes. It's going to be hot there as it is the summer but we can handle anything after Guayaquil's heat!!!! We have done Disneyland in California a couple of times before but the boys were really little and don't remember it. This time we plan on doing all the big rides and ending the days exhausted. What fun!!!! I have my Mickey Mouse ears from last time so I won't make my poor family suffer through buying those again. Not that I wear them, mind you, but they are fun to have.

Now on the post below....I did write and post this on Sunday but somehow mucked up the date of posting so it has been hiding. Sorry about that. I will hopefully get to the internet cafe on Friday to write one final post from Ecuador.
