Family, I am in the airport in Miami, Florida. It is 10:00 am and my "next" flight is not until 3:30 pm. That one takes me to Aruba where I have another 5 hour layover before, God willing and with the blessings of the Ancestors, I arrive in South America for research and visits and lectures and historic meetings. So this is what is called a long day of travel. But new adventures await me and the people are in anticipation. So I must summon the right attitude. I must not appear ungrateful to my hosts who have put much work into my program. So I am tired and a bit frustrated at the hassles of international travel but I must be gracious and show a good face. That is the least that I can do and trust that once that I arrive and get into the groove that all of the preliminaries will be worth it! Have a blessed day! Much love sisters and brothers!
