I am excited, a bit nervous as usual. Packing, trying not to forget anything, We have updated and finished our course work and we have collected our “chotchkes.” Chochkes (origin unknown) are pens, pencils, pads, calculators, that we give away as part of our class to the students. We have confirmed that there will be 40 students on this trip. There are five of us traveling together. If we can manage Internet access when we get there, we will let you know.
Oddly, we have discovered that George Bush will be coming over to Ghana when we are there. It affects us because we have to share our security detail, limosine, private jet, cooks and everything with him. I wish he would get his own staff. So frustrating!
Anyway, the adventure begins. Photos to come soon.
