Welcome!!!

Just wanted to welcome everybody to my blog. I'll be posting here about my preparations for the trip, things I need that you, or someone you may know may be able to help me with, donate, what-have-you. Once I get to Africa I intend to post photographs and notes and all that. I'm not sure exactly how it'll work since I'll be in the villages often, but when I'm in an urban area this should provide a little window into my exciting journey into... home... well sorta, I mean Mali specifically, and Cote D'Ivoire, and Ghana... anyways holler atchya!!!
