Welcome!

Aloha Everyone,

As many of you already know, I have been very busy getting my classroom ready for the first day of school. I leave for the Beijing Olympics a week from today and will be returning the day before school starts. I'll be taking the first day of school off in order to get readjusted to Pacific Time and life back in the states. 

I spent the day doing errands and doing lunch with friends before I leave on this once in a lifetime adventure. Yesterday with the help of my sister, I had a bon voyage barbecue/pool party. It was terrific spending time with everyone. I feel so blessed to have such supportive friends and family. The food was delicious!!!!

I'm hoping to be able to post an entry at least every other day. Let's see if this low-tech person can do this. It's worth a try.

Take care.

Peace, Arlene:-)

Arlene,

What an awesome experience! Take a bizillion pictures, save to hard disk, and upload to blog as much as you can...no, use Flickr instead. This is sooo cool!
