ready to go!

hey guys....

i am still living the high life at the sheridan society hill in philly...well at least for the next hour. i have the urge to hit the pool one last time before heading out. just to give everyone an update...I AM NOT SPENDING MY FIRST 3 MONTHS IN DAR!!! they have changed our training site to be up in this isolated community a bit inland in Kilosa (sp?). so i will not have access to internet (unless they have put in an internet cafe in the last few weeks) and there is only one public phone that arrangements have to made 24 hours in advance to use. i will be staying with a host family that has never had volunteers before since this is the first time training in the area.....the good part is that our training is going to be done on the min of agriculture training site! so that should provide a better agricultural training facility than down town Dar. the address on the site is still correct...they said if you wanted to add trainee after my name...then that might be better but not necessary. still a bit fuzzy on what to expect...but that is good since i dont want to have any expectations coming into this... i miss you guys already...and it seems that plane tickets are about half price during "green" season so check it out...i love you all.
