Woww! 1kg (or 2.2 Lbs for us Americans) - Cannot imagine the sugar rush after eating one @PaulPavlinovich
The bite size ones are good enough. = )

Muchas gracias Señora @BeatrizAguilar - Eres demasiado bueno. You would do the same for me if the tables were turned and I was visiting your country for the first time, right??
Big Hugs!

Thanks @SIRISKY . Glad you enjoyed my Connect Live 2019 application video. I have fun making one every year.
I see you know @JosephDewey and @SunPanupong - both are rock star Local Guides to know, bounce off Local Guides ideas, or go to if you have questions about the Local Guides Program or Google Maps.
Hope you will apply again for the next Connect Live.
Cheers,
Karen

So glad you and @SP31 are okay @SoniaK . I agree. Watching CNN over the weekend and seeing the apocalyptic devastation caused by Dorian in the Bahamas is heart wretching. How do you recover from that??
As for my kids, they are now going to preschool so they will not be able to go to San Jose because Connect Live will be happening while they are in school and they need to go to bed early to get up the next day.
Let me know what your travel plans are privately.
Cheers,
Karen

Thank you for your high praises @JaneBurunina . I am deeply honored. = )
I did notice that there is a #TeamUkraine as part of @ErmesT 's #TeamChallenge here on Connect yesterday. I definitely need to start reading your’s and @NatalkaR 's #TeamUkraine posts. I am so behind in my Connect reading, not enough time in the day to see and do everything and get enough sleep!
Hope you had a great summer! I bet you can feel Fall in the air where you live.
Cheers,
Karen

Thank you soooo much @Justine2807 . Talk about amped-up energy level, you have been a wonderful booster and cheerleader for me all these years. First on Google+ and then on Connect.
It is true we do live in a small world full of friendships, learning from each other, and doing what we love to do best, be Local Guides.
I know one day we will meet in person Justine. It is just a matter of time. = )
Cheers,
Karen

@KarenVChin ¡Sin lugar a dudas, I would do the same for you! You know that you are more than welcome in Cúcuta or in any city that I know very well because I am a local guide who learned how to be a great, helpful and warm local guide from you.

I won’t lie @KarenVChin but asserting that I’m excited would be an understatement.
See you soon! (:

Thank you @KarenVChin ,
It was an amazing summer full of awesome events, trips, new friends and just relaxing with family.
And now we can really feel autumn coming here.
Honestly, sometimes I guess you never sleep, just recharging your batteries! =))))
A model Local Guide, Supportive Moderator, and first of all, a Great Twins Mom! It looks like you have 48 hours a day! ;-)))))
Hope you enjoy reading #TeamUkraine posts!
