Here we go....
Yup, I finally caved and started a blog. This is just a better way for me to keep in touch with everyone over the next 2.25 years while I volunteer with Peace Corps in Bolivia. Of course if you still wish to email, or write, or even send me packages, I won't argue. So, I still have a week before I leave and I'm just hanging out with friends and family. I'm still getting things together and doing some last minute shopping. My room is a mess. I leave for Miami on May 7th then Bolivia on May 8th (I think). I'm very excited, and a bit nervous, but not as nervous as I was going to college. Which is weird I think. For college, I only went to St. Louis and I saw my folks about a month later. This trip is a bit farther and I won't see my family till Christmas (I'm still trying to convince my mother to come). Anyways, I'm really excited to meet all my fellow Basic Sanitation volunteers in Miami and start training. I readily admit that the only thing I know about water sanitation is to boil and filter it before drinking, so I have a lot to learn and I'm eager to get started!

Thank you Meera, as your mom I have butterflies in my stomach. I wish you well.
Thank you so much Meera for letting us know about your blog. It'll be great to hear what you're up to and how you're doing on your exciting adventure! We wish you the very best.
This is great. I will be better about emailing and I am hoping to save up enough to come visit you, eventually, if you are up to company. :)
Butterflies are normal and I know you will do well.
GOOD LUCK MEERA!!!
Meera- This blog looks great. I hope you have enough time to keep this added to and let all of us know how you are enjoying the country, culture, people. I hope you make lots of lifelong friends.
Your going to Bolivia?! Crazy, crazy girl...but I'll admit, I'm jealous. :) I'm sure you'll do a lot of good and have tons of cool stuff to write about. Travel safe and keep us posted!

Meera,
I'm so excited for you, and I plan to keep up with you through your blog. Congrats and have fun!
Wish you the best for the journey you are about to undertake and look forward to hearing more through the blog.
As a parting thought here is a line from Robert Forst's poem that has always served my moral compass well. Hope and wish it helps you too.
" Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
k subscribed to the blog - pl. update regularly :)
Meera.... Butterflies are totally normal before a big trip, especially one as big as this one! I know that you will do great things in the Peace Corps and I wish you the best. Take care!
