Azerbaijan

Previously I had mentioned that my younger sis was applying to the Peace Corps. She is 62, retired, her children are raised and on their own, has no grandchildren, she shed her husband years ago, and now it's time for her to do what she wants. And, what she wants, is to serve in the Peace Corps.
After mountains of papers, physicals, and interviews, she received word a few days ago that she has been "invited" to serve. Finally, after 3 more days of waiting by the mailbox, she found out that she will be going to Azerbaijan this fall. First stop will be a few days in Washington DC for training, then it's off to a whole new world for 27 months.
My older sister suggested in an email yesterday that we go visit her next spring.
I replied that by bags are packed :o)
