Ready to Fly?

Labor Day September 1st

Today I leave for Africa and Europe for 6 weeks. The last few weeks have been crazy;'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''l......................................(my friend Lyle's cat Jack just typed that)..hehe

Yesterday I moved out of my apartment on Humboldt Blvd and tried to pack for the trip in the midst of crazy cleaning, sorting, and boxing. My parents came down to help with the big move and Chris was on hand to be the packing specialist, helping me to get rid of extra things. My boxes for Portland are headed to be shipped by Amtrak tomorrow and I will most likely take the train with my dad when I return to the states to head west to my new home.

I am very excited for my Africa adventure, my 2 bags are filled with camping gear (for my safari) school supplies for the girls at my Aunt's school, and minimal amounts of clothing.. * with each trip i always seem to over pack.

It will be 2 days and 2 long flights till I reach Arusha Tanzania. A more exciting update is on the way!
