Today, I left into my first day. I said my last goodbyes to the people who matter to me most, and headed off to Philly. I'm here for staging where I met the other volunteers in my group, who are all great! We had a 4 hour orientation, where we covered the basics, like peace corps goals, policies, and then travel info for tomorrow. It was alot of group work, skits, and that kind of stuff, which I'm overall, not a big fan of, but it helped to meet the other volunteers. After that, we all met for a "last supper", which ended up being at a cuban restaurant near the hotel and then we headed off to the bar for a last drink in America (thanks Yik!). I surprised because I don't feel any bit nervous, only excited. I know this will be a really challenging 2 years, but it will be worth it in the end. I can't wait to head off tomorrow for the 24 hours of travel ahead of me to get to Guinea.
I love & miss everyone!

I just realized Conakry is where Ishmael had gone to escaped from Sierra Leone. I hope all is going well. I'm glad you are more excited than sad to leave home, that will make the trip easier.
