I will be taking off from RDU to Philadelphia on Wednesday morning, embarking on my 2 year and 3 month adventure in the country of Benin, West Africa. I read today that Benin is about the same size as Pennsylvania. I have been studying French and trying to learn as much as I can so that I can adapt without too much difficulty and culture shock. Although, from my last experience in Ghana I didn't really have so much trouble with culture shock, but the reverse culture shock was pretty tough. My address for the first 3 months will be:
Name, Peace Corps Volunteer
Corps de la Paix
B.P.971
Cotonou,Benin
I still have a lot of packing to do. I am trying to finish moving out of my apartment and pack all my suitcases in 2 days. Then I have to say my goodbyes and eat my last American meals, eat my last pieces of ice, sleep in air conditioning, etc...

Woooo hooooo!!!! Glad you made it safe. The first few months are intense, but worth it! Remember to take time over everything and a new world will open to you. Enjoy! I am soooo proud of you!
