Flight is Booked!!

My staging kit finally arrived last week, which meant I could then book my flight to Phily! I leave at the dreaded hour of 7am on my mom's birthday. (sorry mom!) There will be an information meeting the day I arrive and all day on the 8th. Nov. 9th, we fly to Johannesburg, South Africa, via Senegal. oooh!! Each and every day I think to myself, what exactly am I getting into?? But, I suppose it's all part of the fun. I've traveled abroad many times and always have the same feeling. I would never take back any of the experiences I've had thus far. If there isn't an element of fear in what I do, then I become too comfortable. I'm not interested in living a life where I just coast through.... "Do one thing everyday that scares you...." What about doing something for 2 years?
