Folks are Back!
Well I had a very nice conversation from my Mom who has just got back from their trip to Burma. We kept it relatively short as she’s still a bit punchy from jet lag not to mention hast to get the place ready for my cousin and his family coming over for Thanksgiving.
My folks have been going on these nature tours for years, and even though I know they’ll be fine, and have fun, but every time they go and are incommunicado for a couple of weeks I let my imagination get the better of me and I’ll be coming up with neurotic worst case scenarios until they get back. Things like thinking about all of the things that could go wrong hunting in the jungle and not to mention all of the concerns regarding all of ongoing internal conflicts in Burma (though I was sure the tourist group would keep them away from any hot spots.) The worst for me that gave me a nice little anxiety attack was the news of Typhoon Haiyan. That took me a little while to talk myself down and explain to myself that the Philippines are some distance from Burma and worrying about it was the equivalent of me worrying about them at home when a Hurricane was hitting Florida.
Anyway I’m happy to have them back and I can’t wait to see their pictures.
