Beach or no beach, sounds like you're really dedicating yourself and your time to being there, being in the moment. Being able to do that is, in itself, a gift. Looking forward to more stories. Take care, lady. Not quite sure how this at all sounds anything like a “beach vacation” – but so be it….

But as you related, these fare dollars are providing the bare minimum to sustain a family's existence.This is not about a beach vacation ! Over and over again I think ,how much we all take for granted. Your work is so wonderful ! Take care Kate Even the cabs in New York City do not provide this kind of entertainment !

Travelling the world provides us with such a myriad of of learning experiences. It is truly priceless.

I'm a black-American living in Uganda and I get called that on occasion. The same goes for my non-caucasian friends from Asia and other parts of the world.
