Allow me to introduce myself
I’m Sandra aka keptwoman.
Miss Maccy Pants has invited me to join her as a guest blogger. Why? You ask.
Well, it appears that with very short notice we are off to the USA for a wedding in September.
In 2002 we hosted Pamela, a lovely 17 year old from Paraguay through AFS. Pamela was the 5th student we hosted. She was with us for a year, she calls us Mum and Dad and we consider her very much a part of our family so we wouldn’t miss her wedding in Maryland to the wonderful Dan for all the world!
Now 6 months might not seem like very short notice, but when you have to come up with $10,000+ to go it’s very very short. So we are a family of 5, heading to the USA on a very tight budget. I just love a good challenge!
So, here I am, joining Miss Maccy Pants in the lunacy of dragging 3 kids along for the ride on a trip overseas.





It is great to have you here – very exciting to be going global! LOL!
