My husband is just not real social at all. I will be all over the place as much as possible without my own car:) And we will explore as a family. I just want my son to get the most out of this, and being totally insular as a FAMILY will be no better than compound insularity(probably worse). A lot of my reason to go there is to have the experience of being in an foreign country(Ok, I have a LOT of reasons I am looking forward to this:) ), so just meeting people from (mostly) Puget Sound will not serve that purpose at all. I have no idea who else will be at the compound, and besides, I like the people from the company that I do know. I just plan on being out of it a lot. I do want to make friends in my own neighborhood, that's what I do. . .but book/cooking clubs etc will be a welcome diversion.
