Packed and ready

After two crazy days of errands, packing and good byes all is ready to go. I'll spend the night with our team at a hotel near the airport tomorrow night for a briefing and then we'll be in the air early Sat. morning. Pray that our team clicks well when we all meet tomorrow. With kids from 5 different schools it may be easy for the UGA kids to stick together (we are 11 of the 18 total students). But hopefully everyone will connect quickly. Also pray for travels. We will travel for a total of 28 hours (4 separate flights) and have an 18 hour flight from NYC to South Africa. Should be good time to get to know each other, sleep, hopefully, and read or watch some movies. We'll arrive in Durban Sunday night and then we plan on going to campus for the first time on Monday. Hopefully by Wed. or Thurs. I'll have a good idea of how often I can get on the internet and how well this blog will really work. See you in six weeks!
