Coming back online

Thanks for the queries about my health and whereabouts.  I am well recovered from the flu, although the cough did bedevil me for far too long.
The truth is that I have been traveling, having a wonderful time and being too busy to post.  We spent 8 days in Bali and Lombok with Steve, were home for 3 days, and then headed off to Sri Lanka for 10 days.  I am working on posts for both of those trips and they should be on the blog with pics by Monday or Tuesday.
The short version is that Bali was great, but we probably tried to do too much, so spent a lot of time in transit. I would have done things differently had I known, but still it was fine.  It's Bali, after all!
Sri Lanka has been on our bucket list for a while and it far exceeded our expectations.
We are now slightly more than halfway through our stay here and we are both getting busy.  I will be doing two more presentations of my talk on essay writing for college applications and scholarships.  We have the big college fair with 37 ( so far) US colleges planning to be here in late March.  And, for those readers who know the Pikes, both Kevin and Scott and their significant others have booked flights here(not at the same time) in April and May.
Upcoming planned trips include Hanoi for a regional Fulbright conference in March and Indonesian Fulbright wrap-up in Lombok in May.
After all the travels, it's kind of nice to be home in our own apartment.
Watch for the new posts- soon!
