ERNIE BEAL: Whirlwind

Yesterday a tornado-like force rearranged our living room:  Jan and I began final preparations for our move abroad.   Less than a month remains before we will depart for China where we'll spend the year ahead teaching at the university level.   Jan's been working hard to completing her TESOL certification (that's teaching english as a second language), an achievement that can aid when she returns to elementary teaching.   I continue working on e-learning courseware for the leadership classes I will be teaching.  

We expect our time abroad to be enriching and fascinating.  We will share our journey on these pages, as well as on Facebook, so you can be our virtual travel partners.
