Travel Details

So, now that the blog is password protected, you get to know all of the exciting -- and not so exciting -- details that I know.

Unfortunately, I don't know all that many.

My mom, dad, and I are going to drive up to Seattle next Thursday afternoon (Jan 15th), and then I will fly out of SeaTac right after lunch on the 16th. After spending just about as many hours in the Chicago and London airports as I do actually on a plane, I'll get into Nairobi a little after 6:30AM on the 18th (about 9:30 at night on the 17th Washington time).

The rest of my team should be showing up throughout the rest of the day (the last ones get in by about 10:30PM) and then we'll hang in Nairobi with our site supervisor for about a week, buying all of the things that we couldn't fit in a single suitcase but will need for the next sixteen months, clothes, electronics, mosquito nets, etc.

The plan after that is to head 4 - 5 hours east, where we'll join the team that has been there for the last year (they'll head back to the states in March) and start language learning.

After that...is a little fuzzy...but, as soon as I know details, I'll update you guys.

In the meantime, I'm going to go try and pack up my entire room so that Kayla can take it over, and fit sixteen months worth of stuff into one fifty pound bag and one backpack. Fun, fun! Lol.
