Last Post From The USA!!!



Daraja Academy Campus

It's 11 am and I just finished packing for what I hope is the last time. I now have three bags plus a carry on (oops!). It was just so incredible to have all of the donations, I couldn't imagine leaving anything at home! One of the bags weighed 110 lbs this morning but I somehow managed to get it down to 65 lbs.

Lets all take a moment to picture me getting through customs in Kenya with a backpack, a duffle bag, and two suitcases. By myself. : )

My flight leaves at 8:05 PM NY time, and I arrive in London after 6 AM their time. I have a two hour layover at Heathrow, and then it is off to Kenya! I should be arriving there around 9 PM. We are staying overnight in a hotel in Nairobi, and in the morning we make the four hour drive to my final stop: THE DARAJA ACADEMY!

Enjoy the pictures I stole from Jason's Facebook. Can not wait. Thanks for all the well wishes, and we're off!
