My final farwells and departure!

So right now it is 10:30 in the morning in Washington D.C. I am sitting here in my comfortable bed at the Holiday Inn in Georgetown and I am about to finish my packing and readjusting my luggage.   Today is departure day for me, I am very anxious and truly excited at this moment for the thought that tomorrow I will be in Bamako, Mali, FINALLY!!  I am very ready at this point, I spent the last month saying good bye to everyone that is very dear to me, I have been reading numerous blogs to mentally prepare myself, and of course I ate everything that was in front of my face (20 pounds gain in a month, not bad, lol). I had staging yesterday which honestly made me so much more excited and motivated about the future 27 months. I am moving to AFRICA!!! 

From this point on , this blog will have a different tone for obvious reasons, instead of talking about my application process, and all the hardships I had and the anticipations.  I will turn the page and write about the ADVENTURE. I will try my best to update on a regular basis, letting you know my feels, my stories, and everyday life that I will be experiencing. I will start uploading pictures once I arrive, and share everything.
