Departure!!

Here I am sitting in a hotel in West Philadelphia staring at my luggage: two duffle bags of clothes & things, a backpack with the important stuff, and Grandma's guitar. Yesterday was pre-departure training. I met the 50 other people I'll be serving with, they're good people, maybe I'll tell you about them sometime.  In a few hours I'll board a bus to JFK international. From there its will be a long long flight to an airport in Ghana to refuel and drop off some passengers, we stay on the plane. Shortly after that I am told we will land in a Liberian airfield (yeah not an airport, an airfield!). Anyways, I gotta go check out of this hotel room, till next time.

         Love,
                 Joe.
