All my bags are packed. I'm ready to go.
I probably over-thought my packing. The strategies with what to bring and what not to bring seemed limitless. Each capable of producing various outcomes. Factor in uncertainty and packing becomes a game of probability. Soon we will see how this game plays out.
I've never been terribly good at "goodbyes." I don't/can't linger and my timing is horrible. I'm just as likely to say my farewells and turn around and run for the exit as I am to have a last few meaningful words. Honestly, I am off to Africa and I don't know what to say.
With my bags packed and iPod charged, I begin the next chapter of this crazy little thing called life. I have Munchkin and Settlers of Catan; Ghana, prepare for nerdom.
