10-1-07

Our scheduled departure date, 10-10-07 has made it on to the 10-day forecast. They say it will be cloudy with a 20% chance of rain. The record, yes, record high for that day is 73 degrees.
Whether or not we will actually leave on that date, is still not certain.
It seems slightly more likely that we shall leave as planned than push the trip back, but we shall not know until tomorrow. Fernando has decided to go with the recommendation of his mentors, and they, after speaking with his parents, are going to discuss it and give a recommendation tomorrow.
As for us, this is not an easy time. It's probably most difficult for Fernando right now, but we're still smiling.
