Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Hola from the American Airlines Admiral's Club in Santiago, Chile.  I am just starting my 4 hour layover here.  I have never been in the Admiral's Club before and I must say this is very nice.  There is a food tray laid out, plenty of cushy seats and plenty to drink as well.  However there are some REAL business men here so I will have to try to blend in.  These guys are all sitting here acting like they belong.  Me, well I have this look on my face like they are going to discover that I am just a normal dude from Allen, TX and kick me out.

Well I said my goodbyes to my team yesterday evening at 6 PM.  It was rather sad as I really like all 10 people that I trained for the last 3 weeks or so.  We promised to keep in touch of course and I am sure we will but I will miss talking with them face to face each day.  Today my coworker and I finally got to play table tennis.  We went down to the game room each day only to discover many kids playing or to find the table empty but not finding any ping pong balls.  I am proud to say that I kicked his butt 5 straight games.

I am ready to be home though.  26 days is a long time to be away from your wife and kids and I am ready to see them.  I still have this 4 hours to wait and then a 10 hour flight and then customs to go but I feel like I am getting very close to seeing them again just by leaving Argentina.  Well I do not have a lot to say really, I am tired and I am going to check out the free food and drink.  I will blog state-side soon.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
