South Africa Blog 1 . . .

Ok, so now I've had my shots (and my arm STILL hurts) and it's finally starting to sink in that I'm flying 20 hours away from home, away from Jay, away from all the pre-school year stuff that will just have to wait until we return home. Although I attempted to accomplish some things at SK today, it was just not happening. Tomorrow it's a full day in Lexington for professional development, work on Thursday and off to Philadelphia for four days on Friday.
Next weekend is Ann Arbor, then more work.

Insanity. How am I ever going to be ready to leave on July 30?

For those of you who have asked and may be interested, here is the itinerary for our trip . . . although I've been told several times that an itinerary just doesn't mean much when you're on "South Africa time."

I'm thinking that is a lot like "Jay time" and I'll fit right in.

July 30 -- Depart @ 2:15 for South Africa from Cincinnati. I think we're changing planes @ Dulles in DC.

July 31 -- Arrive in Johannesburg @ 5:05 to be transported to the location where we will be staying.

August 1 -- Charity and Faith church services, Kids Club teaching, tent church services. Work day.

August 2 - 4 -- Work days on the Charity and Faith campus.

August 5-6 -- Bakubung, Chameleon Village (a safari excursion)

August 7-9 -- Work days on the Charity and Faith campus

August 10 -- Depart for home @ noon

August 11 -- Return home @ 10:12 AM (CVG)
