So pick up where I left off... here  is the rest of our year in  review.. JULY-   our long awaited trip "home" to the USA.. woo hoo.. & WHAT a trip home it was... the day after we arrived , my cousin just happened to be in the Kansas City area... - we haven't seen each other in 17 years...  (I know..how sad is that? )   But after years of chatting on FB.. we were finally able to get our children together.. what an AWESOME reunion! 2 days after landing... we did a major road trip down to TEXAS... where there were even more reunions! Michele.. one of my BEST FRIENDS in the entire world... Mich & I have been friends since 4th grade.. we backpacked across Europe as college students.. worked on cruise ships together... and she was my maid of honor..  - no matter how much time and distance.. things between us never change...

I sat in the nosebleed section.. (part of the Scandinavian group) I have been breaking bread & picking their brains all week. Life is good. I haven't had much of a chance to see the city during this trip...  mostly working at the Polish headquaters But from what I have had a chance to see/ do it was been wonderful... the people.. the food.. the hospitality.. I have never had a bad time in Poland.. it is a fantastic country. and I am looking forward to coming back to explore Warsaw a bit more. This should be my last international trip for the year... time to head back to Nor...
