12 hours...and counting...

Ah! In 12 hours we will be wheels up and on our way to...NJ. Yeah, the most boring leg of our flight...but at least we will be on our way. I'm all packed (finally) and ready to go, and I really should be in bed, as I will be getting up at 5:30 EST to eat and then drive to the airport. But how can I sleep? How can I remember my malaria pills? How will I find the E-ticket counter? So many questions...

Take heart! Soon the contents of this blog will be filled with interestingness..like photos of the African bus we will take from Uganda to Rwanda, photos of the cabin crew on our flight, recipe for iguana-on-a-stick...so until then, rest easy, knowing that I know where my passport is (I think...) and that in less that 76 hours, I will be in Africa...with out a chaperon, no knowledge of the language...and 10,800 Rwandan franks in my pocket (that translates to about $20).

Good night!
