I am going home next week for doctors visits, etc. Very excited to see my friends for a few days and catch up. Not too happy about the long flight or the cold weather, but can’t wait for a little China Town (soup dumplings anmd salt and pepper squid, yum). Luckily I have some good books, because the trip is unusually long, too many connections: Libreville – Paris – Amsterdam – NYC – Dubai – South Africa…meeting my girlfriend in South Africa on the way back to check out the country.
