Kenya Trip - Day 0

Dated: August 3rd, 2010

Location: Northville, Michigan

I've been packed for days and I'm holding my breath. I can't believe I leave for Africa tomorrow.

The packing list was pretty extensive--a lot of camping gear (flashlights, headlamps, hiking pants, waterproof notebooks, high-top hiking boots, etc.). I'll be without a phone or computer for more than three weeks except the occasional session on the research center computer. I probably won't be able to post to this blog during the next couple weeks for that reason, so I'll just have to write it all down--the old-fashioned way :)

As for my mileage count, its going to be hard to keep track of without my handy speedometer--I may have to forego it but I promise to provide at least an estimation by the end of the summer.

Better get some sleep--who knows if I'll be able to sleep on the flight--get this: we take off at 7pm on the 4th and land at 7pm on the 5th in Nairobi! With the time change, it's like a 24-hr flight!
