Namaste!

2009: I went to Kathmandu on a Leave for Change sponsored by Uniterra partners and NSCC. This blog documents the entire experience from start to finish. I hope you enjoy the journey from Halifax to Kathmandu.

Roller Coaster Ride

Well, I received word from Uniterra that I am good to go for June 5th. Unfortunately this isn't going to work out - and I'm getting a little swamped at work. So it looks like I will have to wait until the Fall to go. Again a bit disappointing...missed it by 2 weeks...

On another note, I received some emails from the insurer which were kind of weird. They were asking about results from the medical test. I was told that a short term leave didn't require a medical examination and said so in an email to them. That seemed to be OK. The questions on the insurance application form were crazy though. They wanted to know all about my family, their ages and if they died, when and how. I'm not sure they're allowed to ask these questions. Be prepared for a weird form.

This is turning into a roller coaster ride and I'm cool with that. I'm pretty flexible but I can imagine how this might frustrate a lot of folks. If you have some disappointments, no worries. It makes the journey all the more intriguing, stay tuned...
