While reorganizing all the documents on my computer I came across this little gem that I never posted. Nice blast from the past that shows me how far I’ve come since February.
I am writing from the Dulles airport in DC. I have finally started my journey. I went through a quick version of staging by myself today. My country desk rep was amazing, so helpful, so friendly. I did get a wee bit lost in DC but gathered my yellow fever vaccination and was on my way.
I am about to leave the country for over a year. To say an American farewell, there is a Wendy’s across from my gate. The grease smells wonderful but I refuse to purchase anything. My last American meal was a $5 footlong (go ahead and take a moment to sing the song).
And I just want to spread a lesson I learned today. Never underestimate a toothbrush in an airport. After all that grime, it makes you feel like you are hygienic.
I enjoyed three cab rides today. All three of them were listening to news radio. I don’t know if that was for the general DC audience or for the cab drivers’ own enjoyment.
2 hours to go until I head for Brussels. I will find my group there and then depart for Kigali, Rwanda. Oh boy!
