This past Winter, I was fortunate enough to get home to Boston twice on back to back occasions. One trip had been planned for a while - a chance to check up on our Cape House. The other was an impromptu trip to visit my sister on her 50th birthday. She and her family were about to move to Merida, Mexico on an expat assignment so my extended family planned a party for her and my cousin who was also turning 50. I felt strongly that I should go despite the other trip I had already planned. It was well worth it as I got to see almost my entire family as well as some college friends. That was the same weekend Kobe Bryant and several other families were lost in a helicopter crash. I returned to Houston grateful I had made both trips. Not long after, the Corona virus hit the US and we were/are unable to travel. I am hopeful we will still get home this summer!
