I can barely believe it, but tomorrow morning I head to Miami for my Peace Corps pre-orientation. In less than 36 hours I'll be in Quito, Ecuador to begin my 27 month adventure. Lots of emotions running through me right now, but mostly the desire to sleep. After 4+ hours of packing and re-packing I'm exhausted physically and emotionally.
Before heading out I wanted to make sure to share the message below with everyone from the PC that pertains to the first couple of months I'm in Ecuador training in Cayambe:
Please advise friends and family members not to send packages more than 4 lbs., not to declare a value, and not to send expensive items, such as cameras or computers. Normal business size letters or small padded envelopes are welcome during training and usually not held up in customs. Please send mail to:
Jennifer Conklin, PCT

I'm off for now, next time you hear from me I'll be in South America!
