April USA Trip–Sunday

I left Phnom Penh this evening for a trip to Bangkok and Shanghai on the way to New York City. Click here to see the beginning of this travel for a board meeting of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners.
On the road again….
In two hours I head to the airport and to Maryknoll, New York for a meeting with the Maryknoll Lay Missioners. I leave here Sunday morning, New York time, and arrive Monday night, New York time. I had thought I would have a chance to post something more here before I go, but it looks now like I cannot add anything here until I get to New York.
Bangkok Trip: Day 4

Bangkok Trip: Day 3
We managed to fit the rest of our agenda into an extended morning session, so after finishing our business, I made an unplanned trip to look for some computer-related supplies before coming back for supper and preparing for the return to Cambodia tomorrow. Click here to see the day’s happenings.
Bangkok Trip: Day 2
Today the ten of us from six countries got down to work at this meeting of Maryknoll’s South Asia grouping. We had a full day of good discussions. Click here to see some of the action.
Hua Hin Post Script
Yesterday I couldn’t find some photos taken in Bangkok on our return trip to Cambodia. Today I found where they had lodged when I imported them and now they have been added to the Friday page. Click here to see Marj at the Bangkok airport.
Hua Hin Travel (Friday)
Today was a travel day from Hua Hin to Bangkok to Phnom Penh. Click here for a few photos from the trip.
Hua Hin Meetings (Thursday)
For the Maryknoll Lay Missioners and the priests and brothers, today was the last day of meetings. The sisters will continue to meet tomorrow. Click here for pictures of this last day together.
Hua Hin Meetings (Wednesday)
The retreat ended yesterday and today we started the meeting portion of our gathering in Hua Hin. The morning was given to an exercise we called Open Spaces where people were allowed to post topics that were listed on the board and people were free to choose which topic session they would like to attend. Participation was rather sparse, partly because Obama was giving his farewell address as president. In the afternoon all the Maryknollers from all the different countries met as Maryknoll Asia South to discuss and plan retreats and schedules for the next two years. Click here for some photos.
