Today I started packing.  Strange... for two reasons, mostly because that
means I am leaving soon and also because I NEVER pack until the very last
moment... ever.  I am pretty sick right
now, the mosquitoes here decided to bless me with one last malaria experience
before I head home and I also have some sort of respiratory infection which gives me the pleasure of spending my last days here in africa making back and forth trips to the hospital for injections... yikes.  I thought it might
be wise to use this time to start organizing my things and things just slowly
started making it into my pack. 
Strange.  All of this is so
strange.  Since the beginning we have
talked a lot about what it would be like to leave... and now here it is... just a
matter of a few days and I will be on my way.

I wanted to give you an idea of my
schedule for the next little bit... once we start traveling I wont really have a
way to get in touch (unless I run into some WIFI somewhere in the travels) and
even when I get home I still wont have a phone or anything like that... I guess
what I am saying is you should be expecting me to just be showing up at your
house, I mean that is mostly what we do here in Africa anyway... is just show
up.  Its my way of bringing a little of
the culture here home to you! "Surprise! Can you hang out... well... Now?"

forward to spending time with everyone so hopefully you are around!
