We made it to Princeton and spent a short couple of days
with my sister and her husband. We ate like champions – pizza and gourmet
hotdogs and played a bunch of games (darts, impossibly difficult bean bag toss,
Settlers of Catan, old school Nintendo, football). We then took the train to
meet up with Andy’s sister in NYC before heading up to Syracuse. Andy’s sister
got us there safely, locking up our seatbelts only 6x! The weekend was full of
festivities celebrating Andy’s cousin and his new wife. We had an amazing time
catching up with Andy’s family and old friends. After the bride and groom set
out for their Hawaii honeymoon, the family went on a vacation of their own, up
to Lake Placid. The Lake Placid Lodge was INCREDIBLE! We lived like kings and
got some much needed R&R (minus the 15 mile hike to summit Mt. Marcy, the
tallest peak in NY, which was not relaxing). We had a really great time and lots of laughs with Andy's family. Goodbyes were difficult again and
we were starting to be anxious about leaving the comforts of the US for the
culture shock of India, but we boarded the plane all the same. For better or worse, let Dandy's international adventure begin!

Great adventures so far. Now the "real" ones begin. 😝 Love you both and have fun. Everyday is a gift.
