Everyone is excited about the pending trip to Malawi and collecting lots of materials for their projects in the schools. We leave Dulles on June 12 on Ethiopian Airlines, stop in Rome for refueling, and change planes in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on the 13th for travel to Lilongwe. The Virginia Tech group is comprised of Ashley FitzGerald, Katie Fuson, Bebe Jolly, Kelsey Muffler, Alison Reynolds, Devon Rook, Lindsay Teague, Anna Tobia, Emily Wilson, and Katlin Wohlford. Two other universities go with us, Radford University and North Carolina A&T. There are 27 of us this year, made possible by now having a trailer for the bus to carry our luggage. Before, all the luggage had to go on the bus, which took up more than two rows of seats. This arrangement should be much more comfortable.
Can't wait to connect with old friends there. I've been e-mailing them to let them know when we will be at Annie's Lodge. Just found out that our itinerary will include a party our last night in Malawi, hosted by the head of public affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Lilongwe. That will be an added treat to end 30 exciting days in Malawi.
