    Well, IACE for 2007 is over! We and our friends gathered for one last ride together at Westover this morning.  With hugs and kisses and promises to keep in touch, we all exchanged email addresses and departed for Bradley Field.

    On the ride to the airport we talked about all the things we did and the places we went.  The favorite with the Turkish cadets was the trip to Lake Winnipesauke. The Australians thought more about the people they had met and think of us as their friends.  Their only request would have been to have gotten more sleep!

     On the drive down to Bradley, the Aussies asked how they had measured up against our 2005 Australian girls and their escort. It would be like comparing apples to oranges.  Each individual has their own personally, some sweet, some more tart, but all enjoyable.

     We bid farewell to you all. Our  'Best' Wishes' and  'Goodbye' to you all!
