After months of raising money, feeling inspired, and imagining this trip, I am finally and actually leaving today! I've been really excited but also a bit nervous for the last few days.
I'll be sitting on a plane f0r about 18 hours today. Not too thrilled about that but I have a few great books to read (The Book Thief is first, thank you Debbie!) and some good TV shows to watch on my netbook.
I fly to Brussels first and then on to Uganda.
I'll be meeting a bunch of other people in my group in Brussels so at least I have that to look forward to. One of the girls suggested doing some yoga in the Brussels airport during our layover. Sounds good to me! I'll surely need to stretch and move by that point. I always do my best to stretch on airplanes to the amusement of my neighbors :)
I land in Uganda at 10:35 Saturday night. Uganda is 8 hours ahead of us. I'll probably write again after our first day there on Sunday. We visit the Acholi slums on Sunday and meet people living in some difficult circumstances. I'm glad I have a bunch of kids clothes to give to families there.
Please send me good travel wishes for a safe and easy flying experience!
I'm off!
