Schedule note

While it is still up in the air, it appears that our starting date will be March 1. Ian is still having trouble getting official permission to go and has at least one more meeting with the bosses before things become final. His school has a regulation that teachers must attend meetings and that is the problem he is having - the two months of spring vacation are a great time for meetings.

In any case, I have decided that I will go with or without Ian. I can wait until March 1 and still do a month of walking before having to return to prepare for the new semester (my classes begin during the second week of April, 2009).

I will continue posting the last news as I receive it.
