It’s time for another segment of “It’s Tea Time Somewhere!” This time we’re talking home assignments. What does our preparation look like? How bad is the jet lag? (Spoiler alert: real bad.) What does life look like when we’re finally back to our home country? These are just a few of the things Denise, Alicia, and Melissa chat about in regards to heading “home.” So go ahead and make yourself some tea or coffee and get comfy. You won’t want to miss us talk about all that has happened to us while under the influence of jet lag. 

Listen on Itunes or Stitcher.
