Great pictures, Travis. What a wonderful profession you have learned. People all over the world will be forever grateful for yours and others like you who are willing to serve them using your dental skills. That's wonderful! Glad you could have this experience and we were happy to take care of your family while you were away!

yeah big T!! GREAT pictures. I'm so glad we got to see what you did. What an awesome experience. This looks like a beautiful place. Glad you didn't try and stuff a few extra pounds in your bag. No telling what that plane might have done!!!! ha!

What a wonderful experience! Did you really sleep on the floor the whole time? I am sure that you were glad to have a bed....however, with all the service you were doing, I am sure it was sort of hard to leave it....that is sort of how good service is....
