Our group is getting a little antsy. You know how it is when you're ready to go, and now all you can do is wait. That is where we are sitting right now. I know that some of the kids are already starting to put things in their suitcases. Sometimes I forget how big of a deal this exchange is. For many of the students, this will be their first time on an airplane. For some of the adults - its been many years since they have traveled internationally, but that travel bug is still very much alive in them.
This week Thursday we have our last orientation meeting. All of the parents and many of the city officials will be on hand for it. Our delegates will give brief speeches about what they hope to see, eat, do, experience, feel, learn, buy or whatever while they are in Winona. This is the kind of exchange that can help shape the future of these young people. Its a big deal.
