2 weeks left. To the day. My countdown went from 6 months(still living in AZ) to 3 months (living in Philly), to 1 month and now I just have 2 weeks left. Of course I have been doing the traveling thing (Glasgow, Amsterdam,Dallas,Phoenix,Albany, Lisbon, San Diego to name a few places I've been to in the last 6 weeks). You all know me, and wonder how I will deal without being able to hop on an airplane whenever I feel like it when I'm in Africa. Well, this is my reality: I will be in a brand new continent/country/city/town. There will be so many things for me to explore and it will take me a while to feel comfortable and confident in my new home. I know also that I will travel the second that I get any opportunity. Africa is a huge land mass...one that is just waiting for me to explore her!
I am not ready to leave, but I don't know if one is ever ready to leave their family, friends, and familiarity. I go knowing that this is an amazing opportunity, one that I've always wanted to realize.
I've been really lucky to travel with my brother over the last month. Our latest trip was Lisbon, Portugal. I highly recommend traveling there. What a beautiful country with really nice people.
Mary B. was just here for the week. She really helped me pack some things away, but now I have to start packing my bags. Exciting and sad. I kinda feel like I"m just going on a long vacation- it will be hot and there will be palm trees there! Oh yeah-I'm packing my hammock from Nicaragua too. When there is a hammock in the area, you know it's relaxing:-)
I still have to purchase some things: my fan, a journal,more cotton underwear...
If anyone wants to send me anything, pictures are always great! Ones that are printed out. People in other countries always ask about your (my) family and friends. With pictures, I can show you off!
