We just arrived safely in Amsterdam and are now getting ready to board the plane to Dar es Salaam. I'm sitting just outside a security checkpoint waiting for a long line to dwindle. The duration of that line will determine the length of this post.
Staging was a success. Everything went well in Philadelphia, despite the fact that I spent the first 36 hours without sleep. I managed to stay awake through registration and the staging events, and then went out with some fellow trainees for our last meal in America (actually, our last meal was in the airport at Newark, but the former seems a little more romanticized).
My group is awesome and our spirits are high. All of us are facing many of the same uncertainties (some of which are mentioned in my previous post), and being open about that has been a great coping mechanism. Definitely motivated.
Things are moving quickly, particularly the security line, so I'm going to have to end this here.
'Til next time (probably three weeks or so).
