"All My Bags Are Packed, I'm Ready to Go..."

It is not even midnight and everything is ready to go for tomorrow. I was hoping to get everything into my hiking pack so I would only have one checked piece of luggage. Alas! It just wasn't meant to be. I only packed three pairs of shoes! In reality, I think I did okay. I'd have to say that probably half of what I am bringing over is a gift or donation, and I intend to leave most of my clothes there.

It hasn't sunk in yet that I will be gone for two months! I haven't even had time to think about it yet. I just finished finals and handed in my last paper this morning. It's okay though, I will have plenty of time on the plane.

I just want to say thank you to everyone again for everything. So many people helped out in so many different ways. I'm really blessed to have such wonderful people in my life! I would especially like to thank Sharon for literally emailing everyone and their uncle in Kenya to make sure that everything was arranged and that I would be safe. Sharon you are an amazing woman!

Hello J! I can't believe you are already gone...it seems so weird. Well, I hope your flight went (or is going) well and I think it's spectacular that you are doing this. It's really awesome. Anyway, stay safe and I love you. ~Berta
