Still in Boise

Finally! Setting up this blog has been on my list of things to do for the past month and now it can be crossed off the quickly shrinking list of things to do before I depart.
I have never had a blog before (I can't even keep a private journal) so this is definitely going to be a constant work in progress. But, I also think its going to be very good way for me to record my thoughts and experiences since I know others are counting on me to keep them updated.
As of now, my bags are not packed, though I think I have most everything I will be taking in my possession. I leave July 1st for Philadelphia to meet up with the rest of the Health Volunteers going to Malawi and then we fly to the capital, Lilongwe, on July 2nd.
After so much time thinking about and planning for something I still don't know much about, I am ready to get there and begin my work and life in Africa.
My address for the next two months will be: Chloe Ross, PCV
Peace Corps/Malawi
Box 208
Lilongwe
Malawi
Send me stuff if you can and know that it is predicted to take around four weeks to send and receive mail.
More later....
