And I'm off!

And so it begins. I am officially beginning my trek towards Micronesia!

Tomorrow I fly to New York to visit some friends. From there I head to Boston for two weeks of training with the other international JVs (Jesuit Volunteers). August 1st I get on a plane with the 6 other FSM (Federated States of Micronesia) JVs to begin nearly 40 hours of travel towards my home for the next 2 years.

Oh. my. goodness! I am super excited to finally be embarking on this adventure. Although it hasn't even been quite 4 months since I was offered, and accepted, my position, it seems like this has been a long time coming. I am so ready to get started!

I know this post is brief - I'm hoping to get some sleep before my flight tomorrow (I can never sleep while flying). Hopefully I'll get at least one more update in while I'm still stateside, so keep your eyes peeled.

Thank you all for your support, I look forward to hearing from you and sharing with you all over the next two years!

Peace,

M
