We are a middle-aged couple who are lucky enough to have a 4-month sabbatical beginning April, 2020. Mike (58) is the head of an independent school and Ellen (58) is a clinical social worker (who is taking some time off at the moment). We have 3 young adult children (ages 29, 27, and 22) whom we hope might join us for a visit (with or without their partners) at some point during our sabbatical. Our daughter is preparing to move from Thailand to Montreal, Canada, to start a new job with an environmental non-profit. We have two sons, one of whom currently teaches high school science here in Seattle, and one who is a senior in college (in Colorado). We also have a very sweet, gentle dog rescued from Tehran (at least that`s what we were told!) named Cora (whom we anticipate will stay elsewhere during our sabbatical).
