Bon Voyage

I'm putting these two on a plane today.

I have super-mixed emotions about them traveling to Cuba, but like Amy said in her post, family trumps politics.

They will be in Miami for the next few days and then fly to Cuba next Monday.

I am FINE* with it. Really I am.

Ay, Dios mio. *heavy sigh*

*FINE - Freaked out. Insecure. Neurotic. and Emotional.

Hang in there Marta. We'll be praying for their safety and fun!

Marta, I'm a friend of Ody's. I read your blogs often and truly enjoy your writing--should've commented sooner.

Btw, praying for a safe trip. I love acronyms so I'm definitely stealing F.I.N.E. :)

I hope they have a safe and wonderful trip. I can't wait to hear all about it when they return.

Marta, don't worry, I will be taking care of Amy tomorrow night with a hearty meal. ;-) We can't wait to visit with her.

Marcia, thanks for writing in. Marta will love you!!!!

Hi Marcia,

Thanks for your kind words. Make yourself at home here at MBFCF. My blog-casa is your blog-casa!

Besos,
Marta

Ody,

Thank you so much! It comforts me more than you know that you are waiting 3,000 miles away to give her some Mami-love. =D
Thanks again, my friend.

Hi Regi,

Thank you! I too, am praying they'll have fun. But I'm fully dialed up to Worrying Cuban Mom right now.

Besos,
Marta

Marta, I am as FINE as you are...and I hate to admit it a bit jealous. I trust they will come back in one piece, with more mixed feelings than all of us combined.

Thanks for your warm welcome, Marta, and for making me feel right at blog-casa. The first blog I ever read was about your Chirino concert--I was in laughter and tears. Usually that's the case when I click on your page--laughter, tears, a whole lot of passion, oh, yes, and hunger--hunger for more inspiring words, but definitely for some Cuban food.

Btw, I browsed through your cookbook today and the first thing that came to mind was a huge long table filled with delicious fellowship and love. Blessings to you!

Did you put them on an AA plane? If you did let me know, I can check the crew list (if its a LAX crew)-- for added comforts past'ed their way... :)
Either way, safe travels to them both! Can't wait to hear about their adventures!
