On To The Next Adventure!

---

Well, it's finally here. I leave for Kenya to start my internship today. 6 months of counting turtles, dolphins, birds, monkeys, and other such creatures. I'm really looking forward to it. It will be a long time away from Liam and everyone else I know, but the experience will be so rewarding I know it will pass in a flash and next thing I know I will be back at home wondering where the last 7 months went.

Lots of preparation has gone into this trip, and pretty much a year of planning. Now, all of the things are bought, the forms are printed, the shots are taken, and the bags are packed. Liam and I did manage to get out for one last hike on Saturday. We went out to hike up Nihahi Ridge in the Elbow Valley, and it was amazing. It felt great to be out hiking again, and it was my last taste for a while so it felt even better.

Anyway, I'd better go and put the last few things in my bag. I will try to update this thing as often as possible. Feel free to look and comment to your hearts delight. I love hearing from people.

exciting and sad
Well, it was sad to see you go, but I know it's an exciting adventure for you and I hope you enjoy every minute of it. We'll try and give that hike a try before you come back. Bill tells me we did it already but I can't remember. Can't wait to read your first entry after arriving in Africa. Love, Mum
