Almost All Packed!

So, I think I'm forgetting something. Probably because I am. =)

I'm feeling really excited, anxious and sad all at the same time. Most of you reading this probably already know that Corinne, Ayla and Sophie have been away for six weeks. They just came home on Wednesday and now I'm leaving for two weeks. I would have planned it differently if I was able. I know that it's going to be amazing life-changing experience, but it's still really hard to leave Trevor and the girls. I've also been told that the internet connection is too slow to able to skype, so that is a bummer. The six hour time difference will make it difficult to call home, but I'll make it work!

I get on the plane in Portland tomorrow at 2:20, fly to DC and board a plane that I'll be on for 17 straight hours. Don't you think they'll serve me a meal? I know airlines are pretty stingy though, so don't worry, I packed a few snacks. =)

Just got interrupted by Sophie crying and screaming for "momma jenn" because she doesn't want to go to bed. Makes it hard to leave for sure!

Ok, so back to the flight, then I'm shutting this laptop down. 17 hours on a plane- I leave DC heading to Senegal, we stop in Dakur, but aren't allowed to get off the plane. We leave after an hour then head to Johannesburg in South Africa. I have an hour and a half lay over then I fly to Port Elizabeth, where I have someone coming to pick me up at the airport. The good news is from DC on, Katie (founder of Dollars for Change) will be on the same flight. If we're lucky, we might even have seats near each other!

Ok, I'm off to re-check my suitcase and think of the things I've forgotten. The next post will be from South Africa!!
