9 Days Until I leave

Okay everyone, I'm really new to this blogging thing, so please be patient. I'll do my best to figure all of this out before I leave the country. I've got only a short 9 days until I fly out. I will be flying into Philadelphia on Monday for what is known as "staging" basically it's final paperwork and immunizations. I'm then bussed from Philadelphia to New York (with other PC volunteers) and from NYC we fly into Johannesberg (15 hour flight) and from there we fly to Maseru, the capital of Lesotho (short 1 hour flight on a small plane). I'll be spending approximately 3 months in Lesotho doing training, and I've gathered from other PC bloggers that access to the internet is limited during training.

In the next few days I'll just be tying up some loose ends here in Walla Walla, and packing. I want to get some pics posted on this blog before I head out, but it's been hard since our free internet isn't working at the condo anymore :( I'd also like to thank everyone that has checked out my wish list on amazon.com. I've received a lot of gifts, and I truly appreciate everyone's generosity!!! All I can do is bring what's recommended, and hope for the best :)

But most importantly HAPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!
