In Honor of G'Pa

So the travel dates I was so sure about have changed.... Grandpa Bill got sick last week and passed away. I flew back to FL to be with family. The funeral was emotional, sad, and quite moving. He was a great man who always gave out of the kindness of his heart. He gave not for recognition but mearly because it was the right thing to do. He never bragged about his accomplishments. And unless you really got to know him, you probably never knew the half of what he has done. Only in the last few years did I get to know him better. My adult relationship with him was much different than that I had as a child. I got to see his very dry witty and intelligent humor. His jokes were always very subtle. There were many times I nearly fell off my chair with laughter. If you had a question or a problem, especially about business or finances (or Chemical Engineering - but that never was an issue for me), he was always ready to give advise. Not many people who know him will believe this... But not too long ago I had a 45 minute conversation with him on the phone! Grandpa- Ill miss ya. Since G'pa has visited a lot of these SE Asian countries that I am planning on going to. This trip is dedicated to his memory. Albeit he probably did travel in much more style than I will be travelling, and probably did a lot less trekking then I plan on doing. But in his name I plan on devoting enough nap time as is necessary. No worries... when a nap is needed - a nap will be taken! Love ya Grandpa!

New dates for travel... Leaving LA on Oct. 2.
