This morning Dr. Melampy sent out a list of the families with whom we'll be staying while we're in Cuenca. I will be living with a couple named Rita and Jaime. They have married children (an unspecified number) who visit often, and they have a 104-year-old grandma named Hilda. I'm very excited to meet them. Some people received email addresses as well, so they can contact their host families ahead of time. I need to come up with some nice gifts to bring my family.
We also got our final flight itinerary. We're flying from Cleveland to Chicago to Miami to Guyaquil. Our return flights follow the same pattern, although American Airlines was mean and canceled our original flight back to Cleveland, so we'll have to spend the night in Chicago and get back around noon on Sunday, Dec. 13th. Dr. Melampy said the airlines are all being ridiculously difficult to work with these days.
On a totally different topic, I'd like to encourage everyone to watch the following video, courtesy of the Vlogbrothers. I believe we desperately need a public option for health care in America, and this is a perfect example of why.
