That's right. I just bought my ticket so on April 27th I will be shooing off to the Motha-land for a month! I'm so excited that I just can't hide it! I'll get to see grandma and help her out as much as possible. I'll get to see the uncles, aunts and cousins that I haven't seen in almost 10 years. Plus, it'd be GREAT to volunteer in the earthquake relief efforts, even if it's just for a few days somehow. I'm contacting the Red Cross to see what I can do.
And of course I need to just STOP eating now so I can get there sickly thin and let grams fatten me up with her awesome lentils, chicken stews and a serious array of breads and sweets.
Hide the women and the children! La Gigante is coming to town:))))

If I'd kept up with my classes I'd be writing you a lengthy note in Spanish right now. Damn!
Anyway, this is awesome news Cindy! I realize how important home and family is to you so I understand how excited you are.
La Gigante will be on the loose soon!
Now that would've been a treat LOL! Have you ever seen the One Semester Spanish Love Song? Here... you can thank me later hehehe

I'm so happy! Yay!
I was worried that the earthquake would knock you out of going back home. I am glad to hear that you have decided to solider on!! I know that your grandmother is looking forward to seeing you and I am sure she could use the company. If your grandmother is anything like mine are then you will be well fed and sufficiently entertained with stories of the past. If you find that you are falling behind on all the goodies fill free to call in back up. Have appetite will travel!!
