Luggage

Tomorrow is the big day! I'll be waking up at 4:15 a.m. to catch a 6 a.m. flight to Phoenix. The past few days have been insanely filled with packing and good byes. I can't believe I fit everything I will have for four months in just one suitcase, a duffel bag, and a laptop bag. I think I measured my suitcase about fifty times to make sure it wasn't more than 62 dimensional inches. Every time I measured, it was a very safe 54 dimensional inches. Then I'd take a step back and be absolutely certain it was more than that and decide to measure it again. I am finally satisfied that it is in fact 54 dimensional inches but am now worried that I am over the 50 lb weight limit. Ah well, we will see tomorrow...

So I will get into Phoenix tomorrow at 9:45 Mountain time. I will have orientation Wednesday and Thursday. Then I leave at 7:30 ish for Uganda. We stop and switch planes in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Ethiopia. When it is all said and done, I will fly into Entebbe, Uganda at about 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Once you account for the time change, I will be flying for 33 hours. Should be fun.
