Less than a week!

It is less than a week before I leave for Kenya. Yikes!!! There are some down falls of being a "highly" organized person. I have been packed, completely, for a week and have nothing to do this week before I leave. Seriously, I don't think the week will never end. It is crawling by. I also know that on Monday there will be a million things to be done, which is what I was hoping to avoid by being all packed. Last week when I did my final trip to Walmart I said, that is it! I will not go back there again before I leave. But, on Monday I bet I end up at the front door of Walmart.

I have spent the last week saying good bye to my friends. For some reason it feels as if I am leaving for much longer than three months. The good byes are heartfelt with the tendency of being emotional. Why does a long vacation seem like a "good bye" instead of a "see you later"???

This time next week I will be on the LONGGGG bus ride to Kitale after flying for 24hours. With every moment ripe for adventure!

Preparing for Kenya

We are two weeks out for a three month stay in Africa! I am filled with anticipation, apprehension and excitement. This is the longest we have ever stayed in Kenya and the first time we are going to be there with interns. What a thrill to be part of these young peoples lives as they have a once in a life time experience.

I will posting at least once a week so add me to you favorites and come along for the adventure.
