Goodbye, hello

by Micah

Well, the time has finally arrived. Alisha and I will board a plane in KC tomorrow morning and fly to Miami via Raleigh to meet up with our fellow Peace Corps Trainees for a two-day staging. Then it's off to Peru for training.

We've had a fabulous time bouncing back and forth between Missouri and South Dakota (with stops in Nebraska), and we truly enjoyed spending time with so many family members and friends, some of whom we hadn't seen for some time. I think we got a lot accomplished over the last several weeks. We started out with my cousin Josh's wedding, got to celebrate both my sister's and Alisha's brother's high school graduations, met our two new second cousins, and ate a lot of farewell meals. Now, everything is packed and we're hoping our bags fall within the prescribed weight limit. Hopefully we'll get some good sleep because tomorrow our adventure begins.
