Getting ready for departure

So, I leave for Africa today in a little under two hours. It still hasn't sunk that I am leaving and will be gone for a little over three months. Craziness. Pre-trip prep is complete. I am excited and a little nervous. Well, Nairobi here I come (on tuesday).

August

So, it's august. I leave for Africa in a few weeks. I have spent so much money buying stuff for the trip. Why does it have to cost so much to travel to other countries? I am still really excited to go though. So now is the time to finish the essays I have to write and to learn some swahili. Nafahamu kiswahili kidogo lakini sivizuri sana. Woot! Africa here I come (in a few weeks, first to CA).

July

Shots, Canada, reading, work, excited

First Post

So, I have decided that until I actually arrive in Africa, I will only post once a month. I have been to Africa before. In 2005 I went to South Africa with people from my school in the US and other teenagers from a school in Scotland through World Challenge Expeditions, a company based in London. I am really looking forward to seeing a new part of Africa and getting to experience a new culture. So, my trip to Africa should be enriching.
