This visit was planned for June but complications with year end tests delayed until this week. It will be an amazing week but it does make a trip to Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, and Dubai more challenging…trying to sort out all the variables involving 7 countries in 7 weeks, factoring Visa Requirements, schools availability, schedules to the different countries, and schedules within each country is extremely time consuming…</font></div><div><font size="4"> The space program, especially space X, is sending launches every week…we had 4 scheduled in 4 days…they are all amazing…I volunteered to support the crew 7 mission to the ISS…it was one of the best I have seen since the shuttle…I did miss Artemis 1, hopefully I’ll be here for the next Artemis…it was extra special because I had a good buddy viisting from Brazil to see the launch, an invitation from NASA…I’m so very happy he saw this amazing event…the night launches are spectacular…especially when the booster lands back on KSC…most everyone has seen pictures and many have had rides in my muscle car, 70 Torino Convertible…a component of the engine failed, sending metal shaving though the engine…essentially destroying everything…a week before I left…my goal was to get the engine out and to a machine shop before I left, which I managed to do…hopefully, whatever can be salvage, the engine only has got 16,000 kilometers (10,000 miles)…it should not have failed but this is life…could be so much worse…I will be in Morocco for 8 days, back for 5, then heading to South Asia for 5 weeks…hopefully, everything will be done, I can complete the assembly, and have it driving by November….I am really looking forward to Morocco…I was invited by a very good friend, Fatima, Miss Morocco 2011…Fatima conducts beauty pageants to raise money to help kids in orphanages…so kind, like so many of you….if any would like to follow along to the different countries and events I post pictures from every event on Facebook, Gabe Gabrielle…</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4">Just announced flight delayed 2 hours from NY…my connection time in Paris was 2 hours and not optimistic about the 2 hours as they keep extending it…flying has really become a huge uncertainty…with many opportunities to miss connections…I have to wait it out and see where it goes…the worst is there are hundreds and hundreds of kids waiting and I may not get to see them…have to keep it in perspective and always be thankful…</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: rgb(5, 5, 5);"><font size="4">We have to stay positive and always be thankful… remembering to do our best, enjoy everything we do, believe in ourselves, and let those we care about most know (I always say this, we all need to take it to heart…hugs and smiles.
