Starting with walkabout, we combined my wants and expectations with those of hers and aunt Vickie's and came up with a revised walkabout plan.
- I take the Greyhound (cost $55) to New York for anywhere between 3 days and a week and work on getting interviews from grand, great and great great relatives of my family (almost all of whom live in New York). I hope to be staying with my other aunt (Vera) who is also really interested in conducting interviews and genealogy, she is also retired and actually has a guest room and an answering machine and an email and is one of the more technologically savvy of the Henry clan. In New York it will be much easier getting around so on my free time I can site see (that is if I have any free time).
- After the week is through I will be taking a flight from JFK to St. Croix and spend a week with my Aunt Vickie. Here we will go over the interviews and learn more about the family tree. Instead of focusing on genealogy research I will hopefully be volunteering at the Queen Louise Home for Children and doing similar things that I would have been doing in Morocco, caring for orphans and such. With a shortened time period in St. Croix I will have less of a chance of getting "bored".
Until next time...

That's sounds really awesome. :]
curse you, walkabout envy.. >.<
This sounds really great! I hope that you get what you want out of this. It will be an experience to add to your others, regardless. That's the funny thing about experiential. It doesn't have to be a fun or fabulous experience to be a good one. You can have the most miserable time and it could still be considered a good experience. I would personally prefer to have an all-aroun good experience though.
Wait, is that Willy Wonka?
Yes!!
