Time To Go

In just over two hours, I will leave my house for the airport. It's hard to believe today has come. Surprisingly I do feel mostly ready - at least as ready as I think I can be. My bags are mostly packed (just waiting to finish up some computer stuff before I pack this up and get my final bag ready to go.

I've been in this situation before (flying overseas for an extended period of time), but this is much different then when I went to Korea. For starters, there are more and bigger question marks about my living situation. Also, the nature of what I'm doing is very different. In the end though, I think this will be a good experience - even if the trip turns out horrible. Like a wise man once said: "Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." (Bonus points if you can name the source). Though I hope not to fall (at least big falls), I know this will not be all roses and sunshine.

Anyway, this is my last entry from Canada (as long as nothing unforseen happens). As most of my fellow volunteers have stated, our ability to access the Internet might not be reliable. I hope to write at least once a week, but we'll see how much free time I have and how easy it is to get online (I'm hoping I can use the wireless on my netbook in Internet Cafe's, but who knows).

If you have any questions, feel free to post comments on here and I will try to respond to your questions (I know lots of people read this, and it's not even interesting yet).

If all else fails, I'm back in Canada on December 23rd.

See you on the other side...
