I cannot believe that we only have two weeks left before we head to Ghana. There is so much to do (marking mostly!) before I leave but this year I'm determined to have all my grades submitted before I leave Nanaimo!! Tomorrow we have our official pre-departure session with the International Ed folks - it really makes it real.
We've had some great activities this semester and when I find the time - airplane to Ghana perhaps - I'll post some pics and video of our prep. We have a much larger group of folks joining us this year so it should be interesting.
I think I mentioned in the previous post that my mom is joining me after study tour is over. We will be spending 3 weeks traveling around Ghana as I work to arrange a study tour next spring. This will be really exciting as it will be the first time that I travel through the country without the safety net of Rick, Ken, and Maggie and perhaps more importantly Michael - Ghana's best bus driver!
In preparation for the trip I've been checking out some of the sites that I will visit. I think that I'm most excited about visiting Wechiau Community Hippo Sanctuary! I don't know how mom will do with the Tro tros but I figure if she's excited about the Yam Boat up the Volta Lake, she's up for anything!
As we get closer to the date I'll start posting more and am hoping that once we get to Ghana I'll be able to post stuff every couple of days... I'll do better this year I promise!
Until later - Aggie
