Welcome to my BLOG!! This is my first real post.
I suppose tonight is the last night in my own bed. Today has been a difficult day. Most of the evening I was just sitting around trying to stay calm. I am little nervous about the other guy who will be going with me. I have only ever talked to him once. I was also tired and stressed. Now I am mostly packed and everyone else is asleep so time to chill out.
This has definitely been a build up and everyone around me is a little on edge too, I can't say that that has helped a whole lot. I guess it is to be expected though, people are going to miss me and they are worried for me.
Tomorrow I will wake up, finish the loose ends and be to the airport by 1pm in Detroit, then to Chicago then London, all the way to Johannesberg and finally I will complete the journey in Gaborone, Botswana.
But for now, time to enjoy my last night in America, in an American bed.
Goodnight.

Wow...sounds like it'll be a long couple of flights. Its good that you have so many books to entertain you...and hopefully your flight to london will have those little TVs in the headrest of the seat in front of you! :)
I love you!

p.s. your blog needs COLOR! :P
Hi Tommy, Welcome to Botswana and a new adventure. I hope it will be a great new chapter in "Tommy's Life" You didn't miss much for the Car Show, The Cord broke down on the way to Lansing (in Howell) and had to be towed home (a failed fuel pump). We did have a nice couple of days with Allison and Zack and "Wicked" was fab! Cheers, Dad
Tommy,
Lots of people at church today asked about you. Shiela said she got your letter and it was 'very well done." Harriet K, Patty Randal, Mike and Janice C and Dick H to name a few.
I hope your new bed in Gabs in comfy!
Luv ya,
mum
This is from Uncle Jon.
This will be my first post to a blog. Hope you have a safe trip. This will be an adventure for you. Take some pictures too and post you can do that right?
Take care,
Uncle Jon and Family.
Jennifer and I got your letter (obviously!). I just have to say this is a heck of a way to get out of singing in the Christmas Cantata! Seriously, be safe, have fun, learns lots and share all the experiences you can with those of us who will never be lucky enough to have such an awesome opportunity! Keeping you in our prayers.
Hugs,
Lynn
Sounds like you have had a great opportunity to explore and even make some friends. Once the locals get their education, do they stay in the country or do they leave? You mentioned that the malls are similiar to ours, how about the prices? Have you met your roommates yet? When do classes start?
