Final Phase of Planning

The GSE planning is nearly complete and the excitement about the trip is clearly palpable.  Visas are arriving, airline tickets are in hand, and the itinerary includes five days in Manaus followed by a two-day boat ride down the Amazon to Santarem.  We will stay four days in Santarem and then fly to Belem for the remainder of our trip.  The Rotary District conference will be held in Belem April 29-May 2.  We will return via Rio de Janeiro on May 3, arriving on May 4 in Kansas City.
