Less than 24 hours to go

Whew, it's hard to believe that this time tomorrow I'll be in the airport at Denver getting ready to fly over the great sea to Amsterdam en route to Accra, Ghana. After arriving there on Saturday around 7pm (2pm Eastern time), I'll take a 4 hour car ride to the Cross-Cultural Solutions home base in Hohoe, where I'll be staying for the next 6 weeks. After I'm settled, I'll be sure to write about how I'm adjusting to the Ghanaian culture and the lack of air conditioning in low-of-70 degree weather. Right now I'm excited, but a bit of nervousness is definitely starting to set in. I have almost everything I need (I'll get massive amounts of bug spray and sunscreen tomorrow), my first dose of malaria medication is coursing through my body, and I'm taking care of last minute chores before my journey begins! I'll be jumping right into a full day of orientation on Sunday. On Monday, I become a teacher of 6 to 12-year-old Ghanaian kids. Wish me good luck. I'll let everyone know how it's going as soon as things slow down a bit. Until then, take care, and thanks for reading!
