Ok, yes. I'm about two months ahead of my departure date. But can you blame me for counting down the days until this is the view from my front door? Its just about all I can think of!

Here I'm hoping to share experiences with friends and family of my time in Ghana-- the stories that swirl around in my head each time I come home and try desperately to fish out when people ask, "How was your trip?" If I'm diligent enough, maybe this will be a catalog of sorts. If I'm impatient enough, it might also include some packing lists!

Either way, here's hoping that the time between now and then passes quickly and quietly!
