That may sound like a bad title, but really it works out for all involved. Instead of me having to divide my luggage and expect someone else to take care of it for me, I will be staying in Kampala at the office of my organization. Then on Tuesday, when they will be traveling to my soon to be home, I will be able to go with them and sorry to say this since so many volunteers are swerving their ways through the taxi and bus parks trying to keep an eye on ALL their luggage...you know--the 2 large suitcases, two carry-ons, and all the fun extras provided by Peace Corps...a large bucket, a comfy though bulky blanket, and about 20 extra thick books all for our reading enjoyment, not to mention all the notebooks and loose papers. They really do know how to prepare us for the field, cause if we can get there with everything still with us and our person completely intact, we can do anything. Go team.
I did have something written before, but for some reason lost it all. I still want to send my shout out to Sarah, Kiera, and Tina. Thank you, sorry, and you will be truly missed by me!!! All you others volunteers, I will miss you too, the beach will be open...but actually I cannot promise that yet since I will not know until Tuesday what the current conditions are, and who knows plans may change yet again.
I am quite surprised to learn of how spoiled I will be in my new organization...but I guess when your expectations are a jerry can full of water and a kerosene lamp anything will seem luxurious. I am gonna miss our trainers, no names necessary, you know who you are...
Let's get this service started.
Until Next Time...(which will be in a few minutes, cause it is picture time).
