One day until departure and we are just about packed!!! We spent all morning today juggling clothes, sleeping bags, shoes, books, toiletries, food, and fun stuff between our packs. We decided on a traveler's backpack and a duffel bag each. The duffel bags are filled with shoes for the kids in Kenya and some food. Our flight departs LAX tomorrow at 4:10 pm. The first stop on our journey is in Amsterdam, where we will be taking a bike tour through the city before boarding our flight into Nairobi. We could not be more excited for our adventure. The idea for our trip came out of a Facebook conversation we shared last summer. After a summer where it seemed like the universe wouldn't allow us to hang out, we started planning the trip in September. Six months later, we are anxiously awaiting the start of the trip with tickets into eight countries.

While we volunteer in Kenya, we will be working with MEAC Kenya. We will be teaching a combination of English, math, and science in a rural school. You can visit the program's website at www.meackenya.org.

We have spent what seems like countless hours trying to perfect our itinerary. After all that work, here it is:
