It looks like I will be going, as long as the bigwigs hammer out the "who pays for what" details. I might end up going the week after I get back from Israel, which would be good. That would let me come back to Austin, rest, catch up on my regular life, and re-pack before I head back overseas. I am still very excited about the trip. I get to get my brand new passport stamped twice in the same month. Maybe I will try to get it stamped in Amsterdam on my stopover, too. Do they let you do that? I doubt it...

I found out today that I will be in Forsand, not Farsund. Forsand is close to (a suburb of?) Stavanger, whereas Farsund is closer to Kristiansand. I can't find any info on Jews in Forsand, which is not surprising, considering the size of the population country-wide. If you know anything about the area, please drop me a line. I would love to get some first-hand info.
