The Butterflies...

Counting down to our departure... just spoke with Becky who is calm, cool and collected as she gets ready to go! Have spent the day pulling together the last minute things to get ready and keep experiencing the flip in my stomach that reminds me that I am about to embark on an adventure that is sure to change my life in some way. The butterflies are with me~ I have missed them...so I'm happy to have that anxious, excited feeling again.

A special thank you to the committee at the Hartford Y who have made this possible~ particularly Hyacinth, Art and Judy. What a fun, amazing group of people to work with!! And thank you to all of you who have contributed to this project. The true spirit of UBUNTU is alive and well...how lucky we are.

Freaky Friday

I can't believe we fly out on Sunday! I (Becky) have been all over the place this week trying to tie up loose ends, finish an online course, say goodbye to everyone, and I haven't even begun to pack yet! Last I heard from Susannah, she was working her buns off as well in an attempt to get Friday off so that she could maybe think about packing. Needless to say we are two busy ladies, but excited ones none the less!

For anyone who is looking to send us mail while we are away, the address at the YMCA is:

Cape Flats YMCA
7 Piso Close, Portlands
Mitchell's Plain
Cape Town
South Africa
7785

Please keep in mind that we will be leaving there on August 13th so if you do want to send anything you should do it at least a week before that date.

I must return to errands but stay tuned!
