A very good friend of ours is from Bangladesh, and is currently in the U.S. on a Fullbright. One of the stipulations is that he go back for two years, so this May he and his family (his wife is also a very dear friend, and they have a daughter who’s six months old). His wife is American, and has never been to Bangladesh.

So we have quite a few good reasons to visit, it seems. A great opportunity to travel abroad and hang out with a friend who happens to be a native. Also a nice thing to do for his wife, as I imagine she’ll be getting a bit homesick by next summer. Plus, this would be the first trip abroad with the kids. Which should be a lot of fun.

We’re getting excited. We’re also starting to get prepared. Need to find out all about taking kids overseas—immunizations, passports, etc. Oy.
