I just called Sato Travel (the travel agency that is affiliated with the Peace Corps).

I am flying out on August 10, 2008 at 11:45a from LAX, headed to Miami.  This is insane thinking about it.  I – am – actually – going.  I get in a day early and arrive in Miami around 7:00p.  They tell me to dress well (no jeans, etc), yet they say to pack lightly.  Maybe I’ll take some edible dress pants.  Yea, right.

I am still awaiting on news from Korea to see if I will be able to go for my last few days here in the States.  If I go, I have the chance to meet the mayor of Seoul and the president of Korea.  How cool is that?  I’m going to slap the president on the butt and tell him to deal with this meat situation out there.

So, I need something to do while I am in Miami that night of the 10th.  Staging doesn’t start until the 11th anyway – so if anyone knows anyone in Miami (preferably a beautiful female) that would want to show me around, hey, drop me a line.  But staging lasts from 1:30p on the 11th to 6a on the 13th, from which we all fly out together to Panama.  This. is. insane.

I am finally getting butterflies in my stomach.  It’s about time I started to experience the excitement of this new journey.

Holla at me.
