“All my bags are packed and I’m ready to go…”

Today has been a full day of pre-departure orientation. It’s been nice to meet everyone and hear some stories from a few of last years SAILers. They have given us a lot of good information, but I think I will take their advice and go into this program with no expectations. This program will end up being everything I make of it. I am excited to share my experiences via this blog and look forward to everyone’s comments as a way to stay connected with my friends and family during this program.

The day has finally arrived. Sack and I are leaving on a jet plane tonight for Thailand. We are staying in Bangkok for the night and have the following day to explore before we meet up with the other two SAILers and leave for Laos.

“Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again.”
