It never ceases to amaze me how the world is so small when it is connected cyberly. In the past 2 days I've had two friend requests on Facebook from my cousins in Prague. This is amazing!
My aunt responded to my email letter and it seems like the whole family is very excited about my impending visit.
Years ago my cousin V. and I used to write long letters on that really fine, thin, tissue paper like air mail paper and tell each other what they were doing.
We've fallen out of touch. She married and with children and me school and working.
In one moment, one click of a button (send) we are connected again. On Facebook I can see pictures, as they can of me.
I get the feeling that we are not that far apart and when we meet we will find that we are very close. Perhaps we even look somewhat a like.
A number of years ago I met my cousin T. and his wife when they came to Canada. I still remember seeing him for the first time and how he looked like my Dad with a full beard (I have one picture of that from the 40's). It was eerie. We had a fabulous time visiting.
My list of things to check out and have in place is growing. Having so long to plan is not a bad idea. Things like travel insurance, backpack or suitcase, take the cell phone or not and what highlights I want to see in the Czech Republic. I don't want to miss a thing.
And so it continues....
