Packing done...now get on the plane

Hi everybody...I'm Jim, Corie's dad. (my posts will be in blue!)

It's 5:30am on Sunday 2/17 and we just got back from the airport. Corie leaves at 6:30 to Seattle, then to DC, where she'll gather with the other 30 PC Madagascar Trainees for three days of 'staging' at a hotel in Georgetown. They get a night of free time in Georgetown, then dive into the staging on Monday morning. 3 days of that then depart on Thursday, 2/21 for a 15 hour direct flight to Johannesburg, South Africa. They will go through customs, stay overnight in Jo-burg and then a 4 hour flight to Antananarivo ("Tana" for short), Madagascar. *whew* jet-lag supreme! Cindy & I are so very proud of her. --more when we hear an update. stay tuned!
