Leaving New York City

Today I am leaving for Ghana. As a part of the program I need to keep a weekly journal. So I decided to start blogging. At least once a week (if the internet access allows!) I will update this blog with pictures and words.

Right now I'm conflicted about going. Leaving Danny has been much more difficult than I ever imagined it would be. He describes me as "a kid going to summer camp" who "throws a fit when they have to leave"...and then "throws another when they have to come back. " I hope he's right, and I'll conceded that he general is about this sort of thing.

I have to get back to my pre-trip checklist...at least I get to cross off start blog!
