Parents On The Way

Eleven days from now my folks will be introduced to the heat and humidity that greets all passengers who take their first steps on the tarmac at Saipan's Francisco C. Ada Airport.

I am very excited to see my Mom and Dad next week. It's going to be great to show them where I've spent the past eight and a half years of my life. They've heard all of the stories (well, not all of them) and now they will get a chance to see the beauty firsthand.

While I am happy that they will be here, their presence has added a bit to my pre-wedding stress. I want them to enjoy the trip but there's an added pressure to have my parents understand why I've stayed in the Marianas and approve of all I've done to this point.

Maybe it's just me, but I think that parental approval is something all kids want.

Just take your dad to Chicago. He'll understand.

Already on the agenda. The trip to the windy city falls between a stop at the Kristo Rai church and Mount Carmel cathedral.

Great. I was hoping to catch a Bull's game.
