About my plans to visit the Bahamas to see an old friend






I am also looking foward to another trip. I will be visiting my old friend Gladys Thompson. We have not seen each other for a really long time, but we have stayed in touch, especially in the last 7 years or so. She stays in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, not far off the east coast of Florida with her husband Okell and the rest of her family.. A map of the Bahamas and a picture of Gladys and her youngest daughter Vanessa from Christmas 2005 are attached. For more information about the Bahamas click here.

Success at the Embassy!

I had my interview at the US Embassy and my visa to the US has been secured. I will arrive in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina on July 13, 2007. During my stay, I'll be attending a Quaker conference in Indianapolis for the United Society of Friends Women International (USFW). I'm also planning to visit a dear friend, Gladys Thompson, who now lives in the Bahamas. Now that the visa is set, I just have to prepare for the trip!
