Great day

I dropped Wayne off at the airport first thing this morning (he had come out to see me for a week). For those of you who have not met Wayne, he is my biggest cheerleader in everything that I do. He is also the hardest one for me to say goodbye to. So, you can imagine that dropping him off at 6:45am was such a great way to kick off the day.

The day then got even better when the temperature soared to 50 degrees and the rain and wind kicked in. Yup, what a great day. Even the dog is looking rather pathetic and down-hearted.

I've begun the packing process. As I am normally a light packer, I thought that I would wait until that last day to pack up. Well, I think I gained some weight as not a single one of my suitcases would be considered light. The good part? None of it is coming home.

I meet up with the team from SBC Thursday AM in Amsterdam and we arrive into Tanzania late that evening. To my absolute delight, I will be meeting my new roommies that night. I'm pretty sure that they are cool as I have been secretly gathering info on each and they seem like a good lot.

OK, I'm out to try and trim a lb or two off the carry-on.
