The excitement of the trip is reaching a crescendo. It is hard to concentrate on much else than what I might forget or what I might experience. I had lunch with Cal Maradonna, the trip coordinator and long time administrator and faculty member at Rutgers. He has taken this trip over 20 times and he says that each time he is amazed at the warmth and of the people, the amazing country and the reactions of people traveling with him. He did mention that there is always a few in the group that require some special attention, but that he has never left anyone behind and never lost anyone. He has planned and organized a majority of the trip and we rely on him for guidance and fun.
One more day to take care of last minute details and pack.
