Hello once again to all,
Surprise surprise, I don't have much time to write - but I wanted to send one last email from African soil...so here I am. In less than 3 1/2 hours I'll be on my way to the airport - CRAZY! It's amazing how quickly this last week has gone. There have been a few sad goodbye's in the last couple days, but ultimately it's been a pretty nice send-off. Soon I will be home to have my last taste of the traditional Fufu...hmmmm
Anyway, a couple quick notes:
Mom, I'm to arrive at 2:40 pm tomorrow, just to confirm. Hopefully you still have all the flight numbers and such and all will run smoothly, so I'll be out ASAP.
So Melissa, I presume we'll be arriving in Kingston at about 7 pm (ish) depending on how bad rush hour traffic is...hopefully sooner. I know I packed my key in a logical spot before I left to came here...the question will only be which logical spot??!! haha...oh dear. And I don't think my mom and step dad will be staying overnight like originally planned. Looking forward to having you as my new roomie!!!!
Lauren & Adam - are you guys working that evening? I'm sure I'll be pooped...but maybe I'll stop by...time will tell...
Okay, the countdown is on - I'll be sure to send some final thoughts and perhaps a picture or 2 once I get home...but until then, thanks again for all your support and encouragement during this trip to Ghana. Ultimately, I've had a once in a lifetime experience that I wouldn't give up for anything.
Looking forward to seeing and catching up with you all,
Love from Africa!
Teresa
