Anyways, I said all my goodbyes yesterday, and loaded up on pizza and icecream, since I know I probably won't be getting any for a while. I can't help but think that I'm forgetting to pack certain items. Plus there was a bit of panic this past week when I realized I had misplaced my yellow fever certificate. There is NO way I'm willing to have to get any more vaccinations, especially ones I had already gotten. GROSS! But then I found it - phew! More panic set in when I misinterpreted my visa and thought that it had the wrong dates...That would be a disaster!! I can't wait to just get there and get settled in, and not have to worry about all this preparation.
One more day in Montreal, and then Amy and I head out for a nice long flight. Something like 27 hours of travel time... I hope Amy's prepared for some quality Maria time, and an endless game of I-Spy: Airport Edition.
Okay now here's the real test...photo time. Let's see how computer-savy I am.
Yep, that's 33 pounds on my back and a whole duffel bag full of legos (thanks to the lovely Brenan family). Plus another backpack hiding in my other hand. By the time I arrive in Nairobi, I'll have muscles on my muscles from lugging all this junk around. Oh, and did I mention the ridiculously large bag full of Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids hidden in there somewhere? Yup. Africa, here I come.
