Mom Hello our traveling daughter, sister, grandaughter, neice, cousin friend~~ As you are preparing for your adventure home from your beloved Spain we wish you the safest of travel, the satisfaction of studies well done, memories that will last your lifetime, and all the rest and peace you can gather over the next several hours during your flights and airport sitting in Madrid and Philadelphia. We are excited to have you home ------ until your next adventure! See you within hours. With Love from your entire family, Mom

Aunt Jill Have you started packing yet? Know you are sad to leave...savor every last moment you have left in Spain!! See you soon, Jill

Kim Enjoy your last week in Spain. I wish I would have had the guts to take a trip like this in college!

Mom Hello Kristin from hot and very dry Indiana. I am using this mode of communication to invite everyone to welcome you home on Friday evening July 27th, around 7pm at the Curry Road address. We will be anxious to hear your stories and I am sure there will be many questions for you as well. We will be sure to have plenty of Diet Coke. Enjoy your last days in Sunny Spain. We all look forward to having you home! Love , Mom

Cuz Elaine Hola chica! I've been a slacker about keeping up with your travels. Just got caught up today...awesome stuff girlie! Let me know when the return party is...maybe I'll be able to swing coming out...also for alterior motives...the news is....EVENTUALLY I'll be moving to Indy! Whatcha think? I'm psyched to be close to family! Mucho important! Enjoy the rest of your time.....what a chance in a lifetime you are having! Take care. Elaine

Kim Morocco - Wow, it's great you are traveling to so many places. I heard that Costa Rica might be a future destination...I'm thinking some of us will come visit if you end up there!! I hope to see you this summer. I keep telling Allison how much fun you are having. Maybe she will consider international study opportunities. Have fun during the next 4 weeks! It will be quite a transition back to midwestern reality! I liked your story about the street vendors following you around. I went to the so-called "no hassle" shops in Jamaica. If that was "no hassle", I don't think I'd handle "hassle" very well. I'd love to hear about the wine regions and varieties in Spain and Portugal. Talk to you later! Kim

Aunt Jill Have you seen Casablanca? If not, we must watch it when you get home!! So glad that you are covering all territory possible. Ruby keeps asking where you are so we check out our world map to look it up! Will you be ready to take her back to visit China in a few years? Keep adding those stamps to the Passport!! Love, Jill et al

Linda Kopp Kristin, Your gram's has been sending me your blogs and I have enjoyed reading them. It sounds like you are having an absolute blast--What a fit, a camel ride. You make me wish I were young again (almost)!! Keep having fun. Aunt Linda

Ahma Kristin, it is wonderful that you are experiencing these adventures. Did you give the camel a name? Your great uncle Warren was stationed in Morroco during WW II. love you and miss you. Ahma

Dad Daughter, quite an African adventure you had! What will you do for excitement back in Indiana? It's great that you are getting so much out of your time in Spain! LU & MU, DAD

Gram & Pop Hi Kristin - Your blogs are just amazing - love them. It is unbelievable how much you are experiencing - you are certainly making the most of your time. The camel ride pictures are funny but it did look like fun. All the kids who are with you look like they are really fun. Pictures are great too - you are not only an excellent writer but a photographer as well. Love you and miss you, Pop and Gram

Mom Oh Kristin, Your world has become so big. You and your camel were so funny. Did I see Burberry and Coach shoes on the rack? Your pictures tell quite a story and we all want to here about this adventurein person. Let's have a party so you can tell us all----how bout Friday July 27? Curry Road, Greenwood USA. Love you and miss you and will see you in less than 4 wks! Mom

Lindsey WOW Kristin I can already tell from your trip over seas how much you've changed as a person. It's amazing! You are becoming an even brighter more enlightened person then I ever knew you could be. (does that make sense? Yeah I don't know what Im saying) but anyway your trip to Morrocoo sounds just amazing! You are so very lucky and I can tell from reading that I probably wouldn't survive over there. Im glad your experiencing it for me! LOVE YOU and can't wait until you come home!
