36 hours and counting!

---

Hi Everyone,

So my friend Matty convinced me to set up a travel blog, instead of sending out mass emails -we'll see how this works...

I'm still stateside, a little less than 36 hours until I board the plane here in Colorado -and no, I'm not nervous. I know some of you find that hard to believe 😊 I have been wanting to go to Africa for years now. It has been my dream to visit the continent (CONTINENT, not a country Matt) since I became aware of the world outside my immediate surroundings. That said, you can understand why I have nothing but sheer excitment pulsing through my veins!

I know I sent out my schedule in an email, but I'm going to post it again, for good measure (and some of you are newly added to my emailing list).

So, before I leave I want to say that I wish everyone a wonderful Spring, and I can't wait to see you when I get back!

Much Love and Peace -B
