On our way. . .

Bom dia!  Tuda bem?
Thank you to Curt for a safe trip to Salt Lake and a good night's sleep.  After breakfast, Curt and Austin took our car back to TF to be parked in the garage for five months.  On our shuttle ride to the airport, we sat with a young lady from England who is now teaching school in Missoula.  She (Jane) lived a few years in Brazil with her parents as a young girl and has returned several times to visit family.  She gave us some recommendations on places to see and things to do - and corrected us on some Portuguese pronunciation.  I think we are in for a lot of that!

Airport check-in went much better than our last trip (from Rome)  is a good start for the day.  We are waiting for our flight to Las Vegas where we have a ten hour layover.  After midnight we fly to Miami and then on to Curitiba and then Porte Alegre.  It is going to be a long couple of days.

Thank you, kids, for the great send off and for helping take care of things on the home front.  We love you!
