Today is my last day in California for the next 27 months. =0(

I leave first thing tomorrow Wednesday, May 21st for Philadelphia for my pre-departure orientation. I will be in Philly until Saturday, the 24th when we get bused to NY and depart from NY's JFK Airport for Africa. The flight to South Africa is 17 hours and 40 minutes and we will also be losing 6 hours EST (9 hours for PST) so we don't arrive until May 25th. Spending 1 night in Johannesburg, South Africa and then flying Lilongwe, Malawi. Finally arriving on the 26th.

I'm going to miss everyone so much! I am also going to miss California and everything that is here... but don't fret! I will be back in 2010! Until then... please stay in touch:

Please take note that mail will take a long time to arrive in Africa. It takes at least 2 weeks to arrive in Africa, and at least another 2 weeks to get back to the States. And I won't have access to internet on a regular basis... so please be patient.

Take care everyone! I will miss you!
