After much preparation, I've made it to staging, and am ready to depart for South Africa tomorrow morning. Staging was filled with ice breakers, laughter and introductory information to Peace Corps. Only one shot so far--yellow fever. The rest of our vaccinations we receive in country.
I feel like I have everything to say and yet I can't collect my thoughts enough to say them, so I'll provide the information that everyone has been asking for--my mailing address. During my three months of training, you may send things to...

Kampala, Uganda
During the first two weeks, I'll be staying at the training center without much leeway to explore or go shopping. For this reason, I will have VERY limited internet access, and no phone. This will be at least two weeks time, but may be longer. So, that said, this will be my last blog for a while, but when I blog again, I'll have many fun stories to tell!
