Flash-Forward Friday

Do you ever remember something from your past with such clarity that you sometimes think you made it up? I do that a lot. A Lot!
But there was a day when I was in sixth grade, when, for some reason, in some class, we learned about the ancient temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. I was beyond fascinated. I told myself that someday, somehow, I would go there, I would see this place in person.
Here comes the Flash-forward part. I’m going there in the fall!!!! I found a volunteer trip for adventurers 50-years-old and older, and my friend who has gone to Kenya with me twice already is game to tag along.
In addition to seeing the many tourist sites in Cambodia, we will experience Cambodian culture first-hand, by immersing ourselves in the Khmer culture, experiencing life in Cambodia with the locals, learning about the history of Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge era, and assisting locals with learning English as well as basic farm work that will benefit the community. Yikes! Sounds like a full two weeks!  We signed up shortly before Christmas, and though I’ve told quite a few people already, I’ve been holding out on making an announcement. But I couldn’t wait any longer!
As usual, whenever I get this kind of wanderlust, Hubby is immensely supportive, as attested to by my surprise Christmas present. Thanks, Honey, for always supporting me.
As the time gets closer – I’ll be leaving in just less than eight months – I’ll share more details. Wish me luck! 
Here's the website again of the group we are going with: https://www.projects-abroad.org/projects/khmer-culture-project-over-50-cambodia/ Hope you check it out.
