Leaving for Ghana tomorrow - TOMORROW! I can't believe that the time's actually arrived for the big trip. This has been a year coming. Last March I was writing and submitting my application to IREX. Then in August I got my acceptance. In December it was confirmed I was actually going to Ghana. Then in February I met my cohort and refined the agenda and objectives.
I think I'm fully prepared and ready. My flight leaves around 2:30 tomorrow. I fly to Chicago, then on to Dulles where I'll met up with the rest of the cohort teachers. We all fly together on the red-eye to Accra, arriving around 10 am. Accra is 6 hours ahead of Minnesota, so the total trip will take about 14 hours from Minneapolis to Ghana. I guess that's not too bad, considering my last trip home from China was a total of 26....and I didn't get a wink of sleep on that one. I'm equipped with some sleeping pills for this one, so that I don't repeat that mistake.
