Today the anticipated staging info arrived in my inbox. Philadelphia it is! Hello Philly steak sandwich smothered with onions, cheese, and lard galore worthy of a heart attack squished between an empty nutrient heavy on carb bun. Gonna try to get me one last decadent American fast food before I leave for Africa where corn mush resembling paper mache glue is their staple diet. This white gruel is call ugali. I better be digging it 'cause I'll be eating plenty of it.
According to the schedule, October 1 is a full day of orientation and the following day, October 2 is the fateful departure to Tanzania from Newark airport with a stop over in Amsterdam. Would be mighty considerate if they'd let us, Peace Corps volunteers-to-be, off for one last pork fest of all-you-can-eat-CHEESE in Holland!
We will arrive Dar es Salaam at 11:30pm. Whoaaa....late at night, all dark, in black Africa....Karibu Tanzania!
