It is Easter Sunday, and I am sitting in the kitchen with good ol' Walter. He is eating all the gross-flavored jelly beans for me, so life is good.
There are officially ten days left until take-off. Then, I will be headed to South Africa for three fantastic months. Of course, it's going to take me a good two straight days in transit to get there. I have to take a plane from Boston to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Cape Town, and Cape Town to George. I'll have about seven hours in layover time, which means lots of time for books and people-watching.
I promise to take a bajillion pictures, and to write everything down. I'm taking my red leather journal, just like I did in the fall. Right now, it still smells like Panditas and my dank water shoes that I left in Costa Rica. But I plan to rub some new memories into it, too. I can't wait!
