Introduction

Welcome everybody to our blog about our trip to Zambia.  I am thrilled to share our story of this great adventure. We are so blessed to be able to do this.  Everything seems to be working out so well in our planning and we are so excited for this amazing trip. :)

We are flying out of Toronto on September 9th, 2012. We have stops in New York and Johannesburg, and then finally to Lusaka, and Sakeji Mission School. We will be a little bit tight for time as I believe school starts on September the 11th. Our plan in to come back to Canada mid-May.

Today Mylon and I went to the health unit to get our travel vaccinations.  I only had to get one vaccine this time, but Mylon had to get five! Three in one arm and two in the other. I'm glad that wasn't me!

Today (if I post this before midnight) is also exactly one month away from our day of departure! I can't believe it's coming so fast.  We have to move out of our apartment by the end of this month, so we have a LOT of packing to do! We are so thankful to a friend of mine at work who offered to let us store our things in the attic of her barn while we are away.  This will save on either storage cost or hauling all our stuff up north and back next down spring.

A friend of mine from Kap was just visiting in Zambia and she took a picture of what will be our house at Sakeji.  I was so excited to see this! I can't wait to live in such a cute house! Here's the picture:


That's all I'll say for now.

Goodnight.
