Janine's 2005 US Trip- Camp Calcium!

From June 18, 2005 until August 6th, 2005 West Australian Janine Wright will be visiting Purdue University, Indiana, USA to participate in Camp Calcium- a calcium metabolic study (run out of an educational and recreational summer camp) for thirty American Chinese 14-15 year olds. Her Curtin colleagues Deb Kerr and Sophy Porter will be joining her. On her 4th trip to the US Janine is hoping to find a good cup of tea......

I am off to St Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota for a week with Grant and Sarah

At the very beginning of this blog I questioned if I could find Grant (brother) and Sarah (sister-in-law) in my July break from Camp Calcium. Well I don't need to find them- as they need to find me- they are coming to pick me up from camp itself!

Then all three of us are heading off the 9-hour drive to Minnesota- for my first stay in the twin cities. I have mischeviously told a few Americans- that a 9-hour drive is considered a day trip in Western Australia....... Main objective of MN sojourn will be to catch up with Grant BRUCE Wright (today someone asked when I am seeing my brother- Brooose! Ha! he will be mortified) and Sarah as I haven't seen them for over a year.

The week I am in St Paul, MN is the 'washout' week for Camp Calcium. All the campers go home for a week and then come Sunday 17th July- it will all start again for another 3 weeks.

Next post likely from somewhere in Minnesota!

I believe it was an 8 hour trip with a 10 minute break..... The brother Grant has picked up on parental behaviour!!
