Permanent is a relative term

Excuse the hiatus but the family is on vacatiion in New Orleans!!!  Which would be great, well still it IS great but... the weather is FREEEZING!  I don't do cold.  In Bogota right now it's about 70 degrees.  Wanna know what it's been here in NOLA?  Around 35, THIRTY-FIVE folks.  That's about 25 degrees colder than average this time of year.  Did I mention I don't do cold.  Anything under 50 makes me cranky.  All is not lost however.   We have been to all the indoor sights including consuming insect cuisine at the insectarium, and visiting friends.  Perhaps I'll post a few pics on Sunday when we return to the nice warm weather of Bogota.  Until then I have 1 more day to eat my weight in beniegts (how DO you spell that?  anyone?) as well as etouffee, gumbo and any other seafood I can get my hands on!

As for the reason for this trip.  We were supposed to PCS here this summer.  For you non-military folks that stands for Permanent Change of Station.  Permanent being a relative term.  For us permanent is a max of 3 years.  Since marrying the Dip we have only done a 3 year tour 1 time so permanent really is an oxymoron.  Anyway... we were supposed to move to NOLA in the summer, then The Dip was gonna retire in around 2 years.  And then the man had to go get himself promoted!!!  Which is good, I guess.  Heck more money is always good but that cash comes with a price.  No New Orleans, more moves, more time in the military.  On the upside... LOT'S more retirement money and we are now headed to Paraguay.  Yeah it's not New Orleans but Buenos Aires is close by, Iguacu Falls also, Padagonia anyone?  I sense many more adventures coming our way!  So our trip to NOLA was to get our kids into a school here but now it's just a cold vacation in a really cool city.  Congrats babe, you screwed up the life plan but the title of the blog is LIFE IS A DARING ADVENTURE OR NOTHING AT ALL.  Adventure here we come!
