Leaving Home

I officially leave home tomorrow morning. First, I go to Miami for three days. I will meet up with the other Dominican Republic trainees there (I guess around 30 of them) and we will do orientation and get all our vaccinations in order, administrative stuff. Then we leave to the Santo Domingo, DR on the 21st. I will be there for 10 weeks, living with host families (I believe two, one for the first 5 weeks and one for the second). I will be doing language, culture, and job training there. Then I get assigned to a field site and head there for the next two years. Hopefully I'll be able to get on here and post of pictures and videos, so check back in a few days and see what I've been able to put up. As always, you can comment or send me e-mail at borg.brittany@gmail.com

My address for the first 10 weeks is:
Brittany Borg, PCT
Cuerpo de Paz
Av Bolivar 451, Gazcue
Apartado Postal 1412
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

It takes mail 3-4 weeks to get to me and don't mail anything that can't fit into a bubble mailer envelope.

Keep me in your thoughts as I travel to Miami tomorrow, they couldn't find a good flight, so I will be travelling for about 14 hours before I get there, if there are no delays!
