Luggage Tags!!

Ok so I just got my luggage tags!!! Woot woot the date is getting closer and closer.  We have a conference call to find out some more info later this week and hopefully I'll get a little more information on what the plan is.  Thankfully, the government decided not to shut down and my departure date is still June 1st, 2011.  Now the way that works I'll be sent to a "staging" destination (yet to be determined) and I'll spend the night in a hotel with my fellow volunteers and the next day I'll get my shots and be shipped out of the country!  But before staging I have to pack which also means I get to go shopping.  So far I've ordered new Keen shows and some school supplies but I'm really waiting for by packing list before I go all out.  I only get two suitcases and there are a lot of things that need to come with me so I can't go all crazy.  Right now I'm just working on some paperwork, insurance, etc. and trying not to freak out.  I'll do my best to keep everyone posted so that you'll know when I know.  Please feel free to ask me any questions and I'll do the best to answer them.
