Almost There

The GSE team is in the final throes of packing. The team leader has issued strict orders to pack light, further ratcheting up the tension. The goal is for each team member to get by with one piece of carry-on luggage, plus a computer bag or backpack.  In addition, we will have one common suitcase we will check for gifts, giveaways, and oversize items.  On the return trip, we expect the suitcase to be filled with souvenirs and presents for the friends and families who made it possible for each of us to take a month to visit the Philippines. To our loved ones, we are eternally grateful. 

The team is well prepared. A few days ago, we had our final dress rehearsal in Berwick,. About 25 Rotarians and friends assembled to give us feedback and support. Here are some photos from that occasion.  Next stop: Cebu City.
