Leaving Tomorrow

Final Packing

We are all in the final stages of packing. We can each have two checked bags (one of which has festival stuff) and two carry-on bags. If the checked bags weigh more than 51 pounds, we get charged a extra fee. So we all are packing and weighing to make sure we stay under the 51 pound limit.

Bugs

There was a GlobalX team at the town three weeks ago. We have heard from one of the team members on that team that here were bugs. Paul (her team leader) had told them he had been twice before and had no issue with bugs, so they didn’t bring any bug spray. That was our leader's experience last year – no bugs. Apparently they had a good bit of rain during the early part of what is normally their dry season and therefore they had more bugs this summer. We need to bring bug spray!

Hi gang.

Checking in from the previous group that went. I know you're over there now and it's kinda late otherwise, but if you haven't experienced the skeeters that come out at night, consider yourself lucky. Even then, we only had that altercation one night on the church grounds. If you're in town, you're probably okay.

Can't wait to finish reading about your journey!
