US Trip: Day 5

Every October the Board of Directors of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners meets at MKLM headquarters in Ossining, New York.  Here is an account of the trip to New York and meetings and then on to Louisville for a visit with the family.


Back Again!

Apologies for the long absence!  I arrived back in Phnom Penh Friday morning after a rough trip.  In all the airports I was in (eight of them) I could connect to their free wi-fi but could only get an Internet connection in three of them and two of those were at the beginning and end of the trips.

Then in the US I was hampered both by the unavailability of both time and wi-fi connections.  I have not ever before been so unconnected to the Internet and out of touch.

But now I’m in Phnom Penh and back on a regular schedule so postings should be daily now–unless a glitch reoccurs that for two hours this evening–kept me from being able to log in to the website that hosts this webpage.  We’ll see!

US Trip 1

My schedule is not working out!  I haven’t had any time at all to sit down and work on this website.  Too many meetings, planned and unplanned.

I can give you a note on the vehicles used coming here.  I was thinking after I arrived about them:

  • Motorcycle taxi to the Phnom Penh airport (carrying a suitcase)
  • Four jumbo jets from Phnom Penh to Bangkok to Tokyo to San Francisco to Newark.
  • An airport bus from Newark to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan
  • a MetroNorth train to Croton-Harmon
  • A taxi from Croton-Harmon to Maryknoll in Ossining, NY

The about took a total of 43 hours from take-off in Phnom Penh.

Where is he?

Greetings…   I just arrived at Maryknoll, New York early this morning after almost two days of travel.  We had some delays because of Air Traffic Control and the trip took longer than usual.  I hope to get accounts of this trip online very quickly!
