Le Tango around the World!

Oh boy… and here we are again.  I am hoping to be able to leave DC tomorrow…. and at the very very latest on Wednesday, but then… it seems that somehow, I might really get out of here at the very last moment!! 

 I got back to DC on Friday afternoon, my friend Linda came to pick me up at the airport and dropped off work… yeap, it was my last official day as a World Bank employee, so I had to be present!  It was quite an interesting feeling to know that after the weekend I would be homeless (well not really as I have wonderful friends who have opened their houses for me) and jobless on Monday, and it was quite strange to know that it was the end of the 12 years I have spent working for the Bank.  It has been great, it has been bad and everything inbetweeen, but I am grateful to have been able to work for this institution, to have met the people I have, and to have had the opportunity to travel so much to Africa and other places!  Through the Bank I went to Ethiopia, Geneva, South Korea, South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Ghana, Benin, Zambia, Tunisia!!!  It gave me such an incredible view of the world having to work with people from countries I did not even know existed when I joined the Bank.  I have worked with wonderful, dedicated, smart people who are working for a great cause (eventhough there are many events that tend to let us forget about it).

 but anyways, I got to the office today (Monday) and had to pick up my visitors pass! and then went to my old office to finalize a few things…. and that’s when it all started again… I am still missing some authorization for my belongings to be authorized to be released from customs, for my car and airshipment to be sent off and most importantly for my ticket to be issued….

I am supposed to be at TangoCamp greece on Thursday! ah ah ah … we’ll see what will happend…

more soon!
