Yikes!

Well today is the 26! The trip is finally starting to sink in! I can tell by a few, very strong symptoms:
a) It's 10:00 and I'm not in bed. Instead I'm blogging and setting up a makeshift photo shoot with a white sheet for underwear (see donations page),
b) I had an a 20 min conversation about shorts with Nicole,
c) I ate a whole package of oreos in one day out of sheer nervousness and
d) I have a chem exam in 2 days but I still have the ability to smile and laugh!
Yep, the trip is close.

Here's The Story...

Three years ago my sister Megan took off on an epic adventure into Kenya to live with my aunt Lois and uncle Mark. There she helped orphanages, worked with prostitutes and taught english to the locals and ever since I have been counting down the days until I could go too. Last year in Biology class while recounting my plans for the trip I recruted Nicole to come with me. Thankfully she has flown internationally before but the expirience promises to be terrifying non-the-less. After two more weeks of mentally exhausting school, three days of labourous exams and two days last minute packing we head of to Kinross then to Detroit then to Amsterdam then, finally, to Kenya.
