Either tomorrow or the next day, Noel will be allowed out of the hospital. But he is still in a lot of pain and will require a lot more rest and relaxation before he can move about more freely once again.

I am trying to work out our trip budget so that we can spend more time in cleaner, more comfortable hotels, and less time travelling around. The problem is that this will cost us quite a bit more than what we have budgeted for in the way of Accomodations for the trip.

If you would like to help us bless Noel in the coming weeks with a more comfortable time of rest, you can donate by going to our website @ www.goingworldwide.info and clicking the "Make a Donation" link. All donations are tax-deductible. Please earmark any donation for "Noel's R & R".
