Granny's Blessing

I just received a phone call from my grandmother, who we call granny. She wanted to talk to me before I left and wanted me to know that she had no worries about me at all! She goes to church with a woman who just got back from taking her son to Vietnam and heard all about the trip. She said that I will be traveling to a safe part of the country and that I will have the time of my life. I believe that this just increases my excitement!!! I encourage all of you who are worried about me to trust in granny and know that I will be fine.
Thanks Grandma Anderson!!!!!
Peace ~ Ash

We dropped Ashley off at 5 AM as the group headed for Pittsburgh. They will be leaving Pittsburgh around 10:15 AM today, heading to Chicago, then Hong Kong, then finally Vietnam. I am not sure when she will post next, but just wanted to update those who will be checking this regularly.

PS. Granny DOES know best.

After an early delay, Ashley's group will be leaving Chicago for Hong Kong late this evening. Due to the delay, they will stay over in Hong Kong. A minor change in plans may allow for some additional sightseeing. Stay tuned for more.

Hey Ashley it's 11:23am and Carol and I are in Columbus wondering "Where in the world is Ashley Daniels" so we thought we would check in. How cool are you?!! Hope you get to sightsee some and can't wait to read a post. Off to share a bed with Carol.

UPDATE! Just spoke with Ashley again. She is in her room and trying to rest before they start their next day in about 4 hours. She said she will try to get to a computer soon, but sleep was priority #1.

UPDATE! I spoke with Ashley again today (noon her time, 1 AM our time) and she was having a wonderful time (doing much better since the flight.) They had visited a local market and even safely crossed the street twice. She was going to try to get to the internet cafe today, but I have not seen an email or post from her yet. Stay tuned!
