Africa, here I come!

Today is going to be a long, adventuresome day! Having slept Sunday morning after work, I finished up my packing around 9:30pm...early for me when departure time from my apartment is at 11am. So, I figured it was a good time to talk with some of my family before heading out of the country. 

I almost hate to admit this, but while I was talking with one of my sister I ate an entire pint of coffee ice cream. What I'm wondering is does that contain caffeine? I wasn't able to sleep at all! Could it have been that, or more likely that I slept in the morning? 

The adventure of it all has started and I've not even left my couch. Maybe it's just the crazy memories I have of traveling to Japan last November. That morning I overslept and was late to my train, but it ended up that I missed my connecting flight to Tokyo so my trip was delayed a day...then two...and three days later I finally arrived without any luggage. I'm hoping today's flight goes better, and without many complications. :-)

Anyway, it's now 8am...and there are things to do, places to go, people to meet! Africa, here I come! ...(maybe a little sleep deprived, but excited non the less..now what did I forget to pack?)
