Miranda Blogs-Kenya-Oh the Anticipation!!!!

Every now and then, when I’m sitting in class, spending time with friends or working on an assignment, it hits me. In a little over a month thirteen fantastic people and myself are flying to Kenya, to Kenya. We are going to Kenya. No matter how many times I say it I still can’t wrap my head around it. It feels like I’m having one of those dreams that are so good you just don’t want to wake up. But I’m awake and this is really happening.

On May 7, 2010 we’ll be sitting on the tarmac of Toronto Pearson International Airport waiting for our plane to take off. We’ll be staring out those little oval windows, with our seat belts fastened tightly, our chairs in an upright position and giant smiles spread across our faces. A voice will come across the speakers, welcome us, give safety instructions and then before we know it the plane will be moving. We’ll take off from the runway and be on our way to Amsterdam where we will catch a flight to Nairobi. And once we land in Kenya our adventure will really begin.

The experiences we have will be ones we won’t forget. The memories we’ll make will be ones that will never fade. And I’m glad I’ll be sharing this adventure with such a great group of peopleJ. Kenya here we come!
