I started this site as a way to stay connected with everyone in the states while I'm in Honduras over the next 2 years. I am down to 3 weeks until I leave and I can't begin to explain what I am thinking at this point. I am definately looking forward to the challenges that I am about to face and excited to see how a new culture and location impact my life. Over the next few years I plan on updating this site as one of the primary ways of staying in contact with most of you. I am sure that individual emails will be few and ar between from me, as I expect I will not have alot of down time, at least in the beginning. I encourage everyone to post comments on the site and it will be a great way to make sure and answer any questions that anyone might have. Hopefully I will be able to download pictures, that is if I am able to figure it out!
So far I am still not completely positive what I will be doing. Alot of it has to do with the needs of the village that I am placed in after training. My official title is a Health HIV/AIDS Educator. I fly from Columbus on Feb 12, 2007 to Washington D.C., while in D.C. I will meet all of the other volunteers that will be in my training group. We will stay in D.C. until Feb 14, 2007 for Orientation. On the 14th we fly from D.C. to Miami and from there onto Honduras. The flight plan on the 14th does not appear to be a fun one. AT 2:30 am everyone must be checked out of the hotel, at 3:30 am the bus leaves for the airport, at 6:05 am we fly on American Airlines to Miami, from there we have an hour and half layover and at 11:20 am we depart for Tegucigalpa, HN!!! At 12:40 pm central time we arrive in Honduras!!!
At this point all there is for me to do is spend alot of time with friends and family, pack, pack, pack, and wait...
Hopefully I will be good about updating this site. Check it regularly if you are interested in what is going on with me!

Hey Nicole! It's a great idea for you to use this website as a way to keep in touch & keep everyone updated. I'm so happy for you; I remember how much you used to talk about getting involved with the Peace Corps while we were at Wright State. I could tell that it was so important to you. You're such a wonderful person with a big heart & I'm sure you'll really enjoy yourself in Honduras. Hopefully, you will have time to update this & post some pictures. Take care of yourself & may God continue to bless you.
