16 days to go!

Things are starting to come together ... so many wonderful people have assisted us with donations of time, advice, donations, and money. We are so grateful for all of the support. We are all starting to get excited ... we only have one more exam this Friday and then we are officially 2nd year medical students.

Hailey and Michelle went to REI today to scope out what supplies we need/want for the summer. It's amazing how much stuff you can convince yourselves that you "need" when you are in such an awesome store. We're checking out the used gear sale this weekend, which also means likely camping out the night before outside the store to get the best spot in line.

So we will try to keep this blog updated on our travels ... but we're not quite sure how reliable internet access will be. We found out from Molly Fuchs (the MS3 that is coordinating this trip) where some of the internet cafes are, but we're not sure how often we will be frequenting them. In other words, we probably won't have daily posts, but hopefully several times per week.

Time is running out ... and we still have so much to do!
