Playing the waiting game!

Well, here we are in the Minneapolis waiting for our flight to Amsterdam. Our flight doesn't leave until about 3, so we have a little bit to wait. All of us are currently at TGIFridays eating our last dinner in the states. It still isn't sinking in that by this time tomorrow we'll all be in Africa. Well, most of us might be in Africa. In Jamestown, Liz and Jackie were told that they were only booked to Amsterdam. So, we'll just have to see what goes down.

And so the trip begins

I will be heading to the airport in approximately 4 1/2 hours for my trip to Africa! I'm super nervous and really excited all at the same time! I've been spending these past couple days with Kelly, which was super exciting! I hadn't seen her since Christmas, and now I won't get to see her until graduation. Kelly helped me pack my bag. Well, she actually packed my whole bag. I just brought her clothes and stuff to put it. She packed it a little to well because my bag was 62lbs! So, I was scrambling to try and get underweight! We went and got all the bags weighed and redistributed tonight so we didn't have to do it in the morning.

Well, I don't know what else to say before I leave. I might be able to update this randomly in Africa. I'll post on Facebook when I do.

Getting everything redistributed
