Destination: Arusha, Tanzania

I leave today, June 20th, from Detroit and I will spend 17 hours on a plane until I arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport on the evening of the 21st.  This is my first time going to Africa and hopefully the first of many!  I will be studying Kiswahili for 8 weeks, but I will also be immersed in the culture through various excursions and staying with my Host Family on the weekends.  Packing is never fun, but I think I am as prepared as I will ever be.  I can't wait to share my experiences with everyone!
Next post will be via computer in Arusha!
Kwaheri rafiki zangu na familia zangu. Ninampenda! (goodbye my friends and family, I love you all!)
