Lots of emotions

Ok, so here I am on my futon at midnight just a few hours before I head off in the morning. What am I doing?? To tell you the truth, I'm totally nervous and psyched. Kenya has always been this far away place on a map that I never really thought about, and here I am on the brink of going there.

I have spent the whole day packing and I said goodbye to my parents and family today, which really brought it home for me that this whole thing is happening to me. If you had told me a year ago now that I would be going to Africa I would have said you were crazy. That's what is so fun about life, you never know what's just around the corner. I know in my last blog I said I would describe the whole survey thing we took more in depth, but to be honest I really don't feel like it. Maybe I'll write about it later, or if you really want to you can just ask me about it :)

Tomorrow is going to be a long day of traveling, which I am not particularly looking foward to. I wish we could just close our eyes really tight and suddenly be there. Here is an abbreviated version of our itinerary:

DIA to Chicago: 2 hrs. 30 min.
Chicago to London: 7 hrs. 30 min.
London to Nairobi: 8 hrs. 30 min.

It's exhausting just to look at. Hopefully I will have the chance to make an entry when we get to Nairobi. I really need to go to bed...
