Last Blog from HYD

All good things must come to an end, the saying goes, and so it is with our time in HYD.

We had a wonderful "Hello 2011, Goodbye HYD" brunch this morning, with a fun variety of friends stopping in. Shabu and Sarwari are sorting through our extra kitchen stuffs to divide amongst themselves. Greg is busily packing the last suitcase with the random odds and ends left in the house. Patch is napping. William (despite what he told everyone at brunch this morning!) isn't napping, but is lying down watching cartoons. Actually, Wm's had a pretty lucky day -- chocolate with lunch followed by ice cream and then cartoons in the afternoon. It's just too sad a day to have any rules.

Now I'm off to nap in anticipation of being awake with Patrick the full flight to Houston. We're sitting two and two on the flights, and Greg opted for William as his travel companion. We'll see State-side if he chose wisely!

A big thanks to all of our friends in Hyderabad. Of course we're excited to see our family and friends in the US, but we couldn't have asked for a better two years for our first assignment abroad. Keep your fingers crossed that I'm not so red from crying at the airport that they think I have some kind of strange disease and don't let me out of the country.

We on the stateside are sending good thoughts for quiet airplane and good weather. Give the Lady Bagwelle extra scratches. See you soonish.
