Flashback to November 2009 before my first trip to Love & Hope (March 2010).
I am visiting my grandparents for Thanksgiving.
Grandma, commenting out of the blue: "So I hear you're going on another trip."
Me, pausing, racking my brain and trying really hard to figure out what the heck she's referring to, then: "Oh yeah. I'm going to El Salvador."
Grandpa: "Don't get kidnapped."
Grandma: "And if you do, don't tell them you're American. They'll ask for more (ransom) money."
And that's all they had to say about that.
