ERIN MADE IT!!
Erin just sent the word out today that she has made it to Johannesburg, in South Africa. She arrived safely today after a 15 and 3/4 hour flight. She wasn't sure what to expect when she first got there, but she said hotel they are staying at tonight is GREAT! There is a beautiful pool, and it has many other amenities to make them comfortable. However, it's only for a few more hours, she has to get up at 4 am tomorrow...then is flying over to Madagascar.

Time Sure Can Fly!
6, 960 minutes...that is about how much longer I will be in Wisconsin. Tack on a little under 3,000 more minutes and that is about the amount of time I have left here in the US. Time sure has flown by. It seems like just last week that I first posted to this blog stating that I had 54 days left here! Now I'm down to six...6 days!
I have officially left the La Crosse area...which has been the hardest thing I've had to do so far. So many good friends there to say goodbye too. Or as I keep trying to remind myself...they aren't goodbyes, they are merely "see-you-laters". I have stored away almost everything that I am not taking with me, and have begun trying to pack. Packing has been interesting; trying to decipher between what is important and what is a necessity can be tough. Unfortunately there is not enough room to take all of the necessities, much less the other stuff I find to be important.
Last weekend we had a going away party of sorts here in Waupaca. For all of you that were there and are reading this...thank you soooo much for making it so special! It was great to see all of you! The pictures from that weekend have been great! Not to mention the fantastic scrapbook you all put together---that is a necessity, and I will leave socks and underwear behind if I have to, to make sure it get's packed! You all are such great people, I am a very lucky person to have such great friends!
I hope I have some sort of internet access when I initially get to Madagascar, I can't wait to share with you my experiences, and I look forward to hearing from you all what is going on back here! DON'T FORGET TO WRITE!
Thanks again for all of you who contributed to the scrapbook and the going away party! I can't say that enough!
