OK, less than a day away and I'm getting excited; we depart TU tomorrow AM and head up to JFK for a 410PM flight direct from NY to Accra in Ghana (about 8 and a half hours).
Note from the map that GHANA is located on the western coast of Africa - we'll be very close to the equator- hot, hot, hot.
I tried to pack lightly, but ended up bringing all sorts of snacks (my raisins, cereal bars, etc) along with a stash of crayons, pencils, markers, etc in case we visit an elementary school. Weather looks good, it will be dry and dusty, but hopefully not too dusty.
Most of the students have developed successful thesis statements and I know will be able to relate better to our excursions as a result of the research they completed PRIOR to departure.
Started my anti-malarial (Malarone)...I'm finding it is giving me weird dreams.
Off to do some final packing; the next post will be from Africa.
