One and half day down....I think!

One whole day in Germany....what should I do? ok ok...yea chance of a lifetime blah blah blah but dang its cold out...but ok...I just came back from downtown...it was not that bad. I am just really tired. I fell asleep and missed my stop :(. I am back at the airport now waiting for the Air Namibia people to come so I can check in.

The flight here went well although now I definitely still love South African Airlines. It has got to be the best international flight ever. Great plane, great food, great customer service. The one I took last night...I'd rather not comment lol.

bon...im trying to call people on this skype business why is it saying that I have no more money...um...i thought US calls were free...woooshhhhhh!

It's official....AGAIN :)

Monday January 17th 2011, My official "leaving" date for the Peace Corps....again. Definitely a lot of the same feelings. Anxious, happy, relieved, scared. It's bitter sweet. I have no doubts about it though, that's why having all of these feelings are soooooooooooooo amazing and wonderful. Its been about a year since I came back and today marks one year since the earthquake in Haiti. It is still unbelievable to me. One year went buy so fast. I am forever thankful for allll of my family, friends, Peace Corps family, Namibian family that helped me made the right decision that worked best for me. At the end of the day, I made this decision and I do not regret it at all. Now going back to Namibia may be hard for some to understand but to me it is the only thing that makes since to me in my life right now.
Although leaving home this time around is definitely much harder, I find myself having some sad moments during the day wondering about my family and friends daily tasks without me in them. I am trying to enjoy these last couple of days soo much. I know I will miss them, although once I get to Namibia I refuse to have the word "miss" in my vocabulary. Shoot that's just setting yourself up for failure.

I am still packing, a task that I will never like doing in my life. Although I know this time around I will bring more shirts since I literally just packed two of them last time lol. Also I am bringing more clothes that helps my personaly shines through. I think I missed that memo last time. I read soooo many blogs and sooo many people's "packing list" that I forgot to include MY favorite style of clothes in the list. I am not saying that those blogs and lists aren't helpful they are...very but I did get caught up. This time around...naw buddy I am bringing more then two shirts lol. For all the people out there doing Peace Corps Namibia one day...DO NOT pack 2 years worth of sanitary napkins and toiletries. When the letter from Namibia says you can buy stuff in country...you can REALLY buy stuff in country. My advice is, bring things that you like, that will remind you of home, that will make you smile but do not bring an excess of them as if you will use them everyday. Things to you use everyday, you can buy in country the things that you do bring you will save for a rough emotional day that you may have :)

t -4 days... :)

with Love
