Getting Closer…

Less than one week!  My luggage is currently at 60 lbs, which is 20 lbs under!  That’s exciting.  I keep trying to ask myself, will bringing this make life easier or more complicated.  Conclusion:  laptop, more complicated.  Extra mosquito net and bandannas:  less complicated.  Et cetera.

So I know what you’re thinking.  Kathryn, will you have internet?  How can I keep up with all the awesome things happening in your life?  What if I miss you just too much to simply read your blog?  Well, I’m glad you asked!  I will loooove receiving email (I promise to respond) and real mail.  Want an awesome stamp?  Postcard?  A piece of paper that has traveled from Africa?  Write me for real.  And make sure to include your return address and check out my tab at the top of my blog with some helpful tips on mail.

Yeah, I leave in a week, but trust me, any mail you send from here on out will not precede me.

On other fronts, I’ve been saying goodbyes and taking tips from all sides.  What shoes to bring.  How much soap to pack.  When to floss most effectively.  :)  Thanks to everybody.

So yeah.  June 7 is coming up quick.  Looking forward to meeting the new volunteers who are leaving with me and keeping in touch with all you fine folks still in the states.

Cheers!
