Ah, the impersonal anonymity of the web always seems to end in me being overly personal ... it's a question of audience, and when you are unsure of who yours is, you end up being more honest. At least that's the hope.
So the date has finally arrived, Tuesday, February 2. I leave in a few hours - JFK, Casablanca, then Bamako, via Air Maroc. The past weeks I have felt that pre-travel mixture of business, nervousness and excitement. Now I think I am simply feeling calm and happy the day has come.
Well, I must go, but before I do, here is my mailing address in case you need it. Oh, and check out my friend Jenny's site about her time working on AIDS as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali. I'll be visiting her when I'm in Djenne - http://groups.msn.com/JFlament
