Before it all starts ...

...   there's always so much to do I keep promising myself that once I am on the plane I'll be fine.  The build up to any trip is always an exciting part of the trip.  This time though, it's different.  It will be the first time I've worked as a volunteer overseas and this of course is my first blog.  I'm keeping this missive short - there's still lots of items to tick off my listS of "things to do" but I hope it keeps everyone involved with my adventures.
