78.5 Pounds!

The limit of baggage we can take with us is 80 pounds. I held my breath as I set my bags on the scale at the airport and watched the numbers climb to 78.5 and stop. Whew!! That was close!

I have spent the last two days partaking in a "staging" event, kind of like orientation. Basically its time for all the volunteers to get to know each other, review PC policy and rules, talk about cultural exchange, etc. There are 51 other volunteers going to Jamaica with me and they are all amazing people with very impressive backgrounds. We're leaving for Jamaica tomorrow morning, its so crazy to think I'll FINALLY be there! Can't wait!!
