Hey everyone! I depart tomorrow for Niger but will not be able to contact anyone until September 25th and maybe even later than that. In the meantime, I will write letters and get a friend to post them to this site. Wish me luck!

Africa or bust!

I was up until the wee hours of the morning packing my bags. Thanks to my mom for helping me stuff everything into my pack. Needless to say, some things had to be sacrifced and mom will be sending them to me. How the hell do they expect me to fit a set of tubberware anyway??





Wishing all my friends were here to laugh at how ridiculous I look with the pack on about to tip over...

I have to leave for the airport in an hour and a half. Philly cheesesteaks here I come!

Departure

Hello all!

I leave tomorrow for Philadelphia, PA to start Orientation for the Peace Corps. I will be there from July 24, 2007 through July 26, 2007 and depart for Africa on the 26th. I will also be turning my cellphone off on the 24th, so the only way to communicate will be email, blog, letters, or hotel room number before I go. Here is my information on all of the above:
