getting very close!

So we have our e-tickets (well actually I printed off Barb's instead of mine but I WILL have my e-ticket tomorrow!), lodging information (and a packing list of about 100 items with the instructions to pack light!)
I am so excited about this Habitat trip!
We will be housed in dorms at Likhubula house while we do our build and the word is that the facility has internet so I should be able to officially 'blog' most of our daily events, maybe even post a photo or two if time will permit me to do so each evening. (I won't want to be an internet 'hog')
I was kidding about the packing, but must confess that when I discovered that we could take 2 suitcases I did rearrange things and added a smaller second case. Now, I am certain I will not exceed the 50 pound restrictions they place on each piece. I am leaving several of the clothing items in Africa as a donation to Habitat global village and thus will have plenty of souvenir room for the long list of people I wish to shop for!
My goodness, in one week I will be too excited to get a good nights sleep! In 8 days, I will be leaving Toronto for Heathrow airport - haven't been there for 20 years!
and in 9 days I will be in AFRICA :)
