I leave in less than 24 hours!!! It was a hectic day of running around NYC, but I crossed almost every item off of my ever-growing to-do list. The most important item of course was my Ghana visa, which is safely in my sweaty little paws as I write. Tomorrow I have to pick up my malaria pills (thanks to the little team that made the Buenos Aires to NYC transfer possible), change my entire trip budget worth of cash into the newest version of $100 and $50 bills at the bank, and make a trip to the post office to make sure my lovelies in Argentina and Minneapolis get some mailbox affection.
My 10-hour flight leaves NYC at 5pm and arrives in Accra at 8:30am. Ghana is 4 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time so it will technically be 4:30am, but Lindsay (another Georgetown student) is meeting me and has arranged a ride back to the "compound" which will be my home for the next 2 weeks.
Although I can barely keep my eyes open, I am pretty sure I won't be able to sleep a wink tonight...I feel excited as if I were 8-years old and tomorrow were to be Christmas -- I haven't felt this excited in a long time (maybe since I was actually just 8 years old).
I probably won't have access to email until Monday, but be sure to check back for the update!
