Well, here I am...I suppose you could say my African Adventure has begun.
Mum and I got up at an indecently early hour this morning to do all the numerous last minute jobs that crop up, no matter how well prepared you are. A heart-wrenching farewell to Jon and final rendition by dad of Jeeves and Wooster snuggled up as a family meant that I had a late night and early start. I was completely oblivious to the driving sleet on the motorway in my land of nod!
I am writing this from my grandparents' house, who were so considerate in moving to not far from Heathrow. Online check in is complete, the last minute hitch with the bank account ironed out, and the bags are packed (bar a few weight distribution issues - as it is I topple backwards if my centre of gravity shifts in any way!).
As I've mentioned, I will be travelling on a different flight to the other volunteers (as I only need a single ticket, which has certain logistical problems), but I am hoping to meet them at their Terminal before I check in myself tomorrow afternoon. I can hear much fretting exuding from the room next door, but everything will work out - it never does to worry.
So it is time to say a fond farewell to England. The next time you hear from me will be from 'the cradle of mankind'.
