getting ready to set sail Saturday..

in the 19th Century my family really did set sail. As we take an 'airliner' not a steamliner this Saturday we will be meeting friends and family on the East Coast and having these 19th Century type of family send offs. Also, like my relatives who left New England and the Mid-Atlantic almost 200 years ago we want to do service in our journey. we will not be traveling under the auspices of a University or Church but under our own steam, encountering people as they are, as we are, but meeting them in areas of the world that are affected by disaster - we believe we can create an exchange on resiliency and come back with new gifts for our home in New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast as we all work together to understand and learn from each other in the 21st Century and build a better world for future generations. Maybe your family has crossed on similar paths? Maybe your own journey left you wanting to give back more? Maybe you know people who are in service around the world? Reach out to us, send us your blog, links, stories - THANKS!!
