Who wants to take a 15 hour flight?

Yesterday we started receiving information about our staging!

What is staging? Well, before Peace Corps volunteers leave the US they all meet in a major city to have a brief orientation. You go over Peace Corps information, expectations, and receive any vaccinations you may need. It’s also to make sure everyone gets there.

We were excited to learn that we will be staging in Philadelphia! So on February 8th we will fly to Philadelphia and go through staging. Then at 2AM on the 10th we will take a bus to New York City and fly to Johannesburg, South Africa. Does anyone want to take a 15 hour flight? After that we will take a 4 hour flight to Entebbe, Uganda.

It was great to hear about our staging. We are getting closer to our Peace Corps service and it’s awesome!
