Questions, Questions O’ more questions

When we got home we started putting together the things we had to have for this adventure, make sure passports are up to date, think about things that might need to be handled while we are gone, etc.

Our first step was to email the people at the school and start a dialogue about our moving, with timelines, checklists and other things that will pop up.

Some of our questions:

1. Medical tests, vaccinations, physicals
2. Paper work needed by the school
1. Transcripts
2. Teacher certificates
3. Marriage license (try to find that after 36 years)
3. How do the tickets work for the flights
4. How does the shipping work
5. What should we ship
6. What kind of housing will we have
7. What do we do till we can get phones, car, Internet
8. What textbooks will we be using
9. Does anyone play golf (would have been 1st question but wife was watching)
   

We have found out that the Dean of the school and his wife both have EdD’s from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Would you believe somebody else might speak “hillbilly”. Another of the small world things, our friend, the headmaster from Gaza has a former staff member who is now working where we are going to be located. Got her email address, contacted her and asked if she would help with some in-county questions. Would you believe she called this week and we visited for 30 minutes, seems to be a great lady, but we were told she was. We are going to talk when she gets back to the States this summer about packing/shipping and other things.
