My Journey to Lome, Togo
Preparation! Preparation! Preparation!
The time has come for me to start seriously preparing for my ten month journey to Lome, Togo in Africa. While I am in Africa I will be teaching PreK-Kindergarten at ArcenCiel International School of Lome. Visit the school's website at http://www.arc-en-ciel.org/Eng/home.htm. I am tentatively scheduled to leave the United States on August 27, 2008. The exact date and time will be determined very soon.
Passport
I am going to the post office tomorrow to apply for my passport. Who knew passport photos could look so awful:-) I am comforted by the fact that passport photos are an inaccurate depiction of true beauty.
Vaccines
I made an appointment for June 9, 2008 at 8:30 AM to get international travel consultation and many vaccines. So far I am aware of three needed vaccines: Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and Hepatitis A. My arms are going to deflate from the inside out ( I am petrified of NEEDLES!). I am going to need a lot of ice cream after this arm numbing experience.
