I have about 8 hours until I am aboard a plane heading to Philadelphia for staging. I cannot believe the summer has come to an end and I am finally headed out. By the end of the week I will be in Ghana! Right now I'm just excited and anxious.

I have packed all of my items. I have under 80 pounds of stuff but still feel like I am bringing too much. I guess we'll see :)

I'll keep in touch!

Here it is - finally! I am leaving for Philadelphia in 5 days and have had the whole summer to create a blog and am just now getting to it. Where does the time go?

Currently I am feeling anxious about my journey. I am sort of feeling unprepared, considering that I haven't packed everything and still need to pick up a few things. I am just now calling and finalizing information.

I hope to post stories and experiences on this blog while in Ghana, West Africa with the Peace Corps. I have never used a blog service and am slightly personal so this will be a good experience and will hopefully allow me to share my experience with friends and family all over the US. Enjoy!
