Another Island?




Having thoroughly enjoyed our last stay at Galveston, we thought we would fit in one more island stay before we pass over the keys to the new group. Now we're on South Padre Island (it's about six hours south of Houston). South Padre is so close to Mexico that we almost made a wrong turn over the border on our drive down here. I must admit, I really do enjoy being able to relax on the beach or eat dinner with a ocean-side view.

We have a few off days here and then we'll be moving to McAllen (a border town) to finish up our last official days on the job. Next week we'll fly to Madison, WI for some end of the year events at headquarters and then most everyone will stay "Adios" to their year on the road. Myself and one other teammate (Emily), will be continuing the job for an additional two weeks. We are doing a special tour which will involve some more time in almost-Mexico, as well as a trip out to New York City. My official last day is June 17th.
