And so I am off... Well that's not exactly true. I leave Houston tomorrow at 7am and will be spending the night with a group of 10 people who I would barely call acquaintances, in the Washington airport. Friday I will wake up and fly to JFK and then will embark on my 14 hour long journey, final destination- Tanzania.
It is getting late and I am not packed, much to my dad's surprise :) So I will be up late doing that. But even if i was all done packing, I probably wouldn't get much sleep. I am so nervous. About the things I will see, the people I will meet, the friends I will make. "Nervous" sounds negative, I am also excited. I just want Friday to come already so I can start this crazy experience!
I will try to keep updates as often as possible. It will be hard to call. Email will be hard to. I am not sure if they will have internet at the orphanage we are staying in. I would bet not, but Nick (our guide) says they might. And if they do, I will try and give updates.
And so it begins.
Love always,
MaryAlice
