Today is the Day

Ok, so I leave at 7:30 tonight. My thoughts are as follows: scared, nervous, excited, and stressed. Why stressed? Well, needless to say I have not packed yet. Okay, not entirely true as I have already packed all my toiletries (for 3 months!), all my gifts, and all of my electronics. I just need to pack shoes and all of my clothes. Yes, I am a major procrastinator! Anyways, I will let everyone know how I am doing when I land in Accra tomorrow. It is about a 10.5 hour flight from DC to Accra so I decided it would be worthwhile to download a couple new movies on my iTunes; I can't wait to watch them! Accra is the capital of Ghana and they say it is approximately a 3 hour drive to Cape Coast where I'll be staying. I believe that I am spending the night in Accra until Saturday morning and then driving with another intern to Cape Coast, after which we will go through orientation about cultural norms and safety precautions. Well that's all for now but wish me luck and I will miss everyone very much!
